I Was Fine Until Someone Asked Me How I Was Doing – Veteran Shirt Idea

There you are. Functioning. Caffeinated. Holding it together at a solid 7 out of 10.

And then someone — a coworker, a cashier, your mom — looks you dead in the eyes and asks:

"How are you doing?"

And something inside you short-circuits.

Because there are two options:

Option A: "Fine thanks." (Lie. Efficient. Socially acceptable.)

Option B: A 45-minute unprompted download of every experience since basic training, three military jokes that civilians won't understand, one story about that one deployment that is definitely funny now, and an abrupt ending with "anyway I'm good."

Veterans pick Option B more than we should.

This shirt idea is a warning label. A public service announcement. A heads up to civilians: you asked. You opened the door. Whatever happens next is on you.
