The simple question "What's Wrong?" can indicate an entire world of meaning--the tone can mean "What the (blank) is wrong with you????!!!!" all the way up to "I want to know why you're sad/angry/etc. so that I can help!"
When we ask people or when people ask us how they're doing ("How ya doing?" "How are you?" "What's new?"), a true answer is rarely expected and rarely given.
When I ask you what's wrong or what's new, I want you to know that as an Introvert, I'm really interested in the answer. I rarely just ask...because frankly, the social convention of "just asking" turns my stomach. (Really??? Asking a question of another human being when you don't have to do so?????)
Be well, fellow Introverts.
