A co-worker of mine who I was already good friends with before we worked together often picks up on my anxiety. He asks me very directly, "Are you OK?" I can't bullshit him but he knows if I don't want to talk about it by how I reply. I always say, "I'm OK." But he is an intuitive and can read a lot of meaning into how it comes out. Sometimes we talk about each other's problems but sometimes it just isn't an appropriate time or place. I can snow a lot of other people but not him.
 
I always kept my answers short -- "I'm fine" + "I'm good". Usually I was. If it was someone who I liked or knew a little bit and if I was having a bad day, I'd say "I've had better days" and keep it at that. I didn't care to go on about what caused the bad day. The answers were always very short.
