What “same old, same old” means to me is that we don’t want to think about our life, rather short cut our answers to keep a distance from others and ourselves. It blocks any interest on the part of the receiver. It’s similar to the word “fine” when asked, “how are you?” We all fall into these shortcuts, but I believe we do a disservice to ourselves when we send those words into the Universe. We block ourselves from ever having something different in our lives because we already said we weren’t going to take the effort to think.
