    This is also why I can’t respond ‘good’ to how I am. If I am ‘good’ then it means I’m better than average or median. But if I say I am good too often, it becomes the average.

      My husband always says he’s normal when asked. It took some time to get used to not hearing “good”. Our toddler now also replies with she’s normal.

        Teaching the youngling how to voice emotions and sometimes you just need a society break will set that kid up far better than the usual education systems we have.

      I consider “good” to be of the binary group good or not good.

      Average is good, a little low is good. Great is good

      Though I usually answer “fine :)”
