Happy Tuesday!
"What are you doing?"
My girl asked me yesterday, with an innocent smile, while I was in the kitchen, minding my own business.
I was like..."Say that again?" 😒
My girl went "Um....what are you working on?"
I was like..."That's better." 😄
Do you see any problem here?
"What are you doing?" is actually a bit rude, as it comes across as confrontational or abrupt.
It's almost like an interrogation.
You are basically hinting - Hmmm....I'm smelling trouble.
Typically, I would just ask, "What have you been up to?" or "What are you up to?" if I am just being curious in social settings.
"What are you doing?" can still be used, but NOT alone. It would be much more appropriate to add "darling/sweetie/my dear" at the end to soften the tone.
If you learned something from this - congratulations!
That means you CARE about manners and your inner self wants to learn more, so you can sound classier!
