Turning the Everyday Question "What's New?" into One you Can't Wait to Answer!

“What’s new…?”

A question asked millions of times a day. Sometimes with genuine interest, and sometimes rhetorical, but always an open-ended starting point.

“What’s new?”

What if the answer is a rhetorical, “nothing?”

Many people may feel that scenario is the worst, and it does lend itself toward self-pity.  “What do I say?” “Should I prep for the question?” “I don’t want to look like a loser.”

According to succeedsocially.com, it is very common: It can be hard to think of what to say right away. That's one main reason these phrases often lead to little awkward moments. People will often initially respond to, "How are you?" with something like , "I'm good... I'm good... yeah, things are okay..." to buy themselves time to come up with a better response. I think everyone feels a little caught off guard and on the spot to come up with a fascinating answer sometimes. Nothing unusual at all about taking a few seconds to gather your thoughts.

Don't worry if you don't always have a great answer to the literal "How are you?" question. Often we're really not up to much or not a lot is new. The point is to get someone talking, and as long as that happens then everything is fine. Plus if someone really does want to know what's new in your life, saying "Not much" and then changing the topic technically did answer the question.

It may seem like an end-of-the-world-man-does-my-life-stink scenario, but it is not.

Not by a long shot.

Imagine your friends or loved ones who are suffering from chronic pain. Imagine how they look at that simple question.

“What’s new…?”

(“Nothing…nothing but pain at least.”)

Everyday chronic pain sufferers dread the question for many reasons. Mostly because it asks if there is any change, any hope in the fight against their chronic pain.

Dreading the question becomes hating the question because it reflects the daily struggle.

“What’s new…?”

(“Nothing, nothing is new…I can’t do anything new—I can’t even do the things I USED to do…so how could anything be new except an increase in my pain.”)

Perhaps you are already aware and quite sensitive to the question because you, a loved one, or friend already suffers from chronic pain. Perhaps you have cringed at asking the question and then catching yourself wishing it was a courtroom setting, and you could voluntarily withdraw the question.

Because you know it hurts.
