Is everyone OK?

If you were born and raised in a collectivist society or family environment where it became a norm to suppress your feelings and your true needs, it’s so hard to ask for help by saying that you’re not actually fine. 
And I think that kind of society naturally develops a linguistic background and habit which are ‘大丈夫(daijyobu)’ and ‘괜찮아(kenchana)’ in both Japan and Korea. And as a Korean person living in Japan, I feel like I’m getting allergic to a word “daijyobu” because I certainly know that it is a best tool for Japanese people to shield their hardship in order to not make their loved ones to worry about you or concern about you. 
and I believe it applies to Korean culture as well with a word ‘kenchana’

I’m aware of a purely kind intention to check on someone whether they are really okay but sometimes I believe people should ask a better, different question like ‘is there anything we can talk about your everyday life recently?’ and assuring them that it’s completely okay to say that you’re not actually OK
