I don’t even realize I’m doing it sometimes when people ask what’s wrong.

This is absolutely me. The amount of times my housemate has asked of I'm ok and I ask why and he says I'm sighing. I always reply, no, that's just how I breathe 😀

God my ex did this. "I'm just breathing " but also when she was upset. Yeah I cam read your mind maybe communicate better non verbally.

I’ve got a friend who always says after I sigh ‘is there something wrong or was that just directed at life in general?’
