really means, which is "I am OK because I can deal with this alone. I do not need any help. 
Please support me by not worrying about me. Trust that I can deal with it all by myself." 
 
Without this translation, when he is upset and says "I am OK" it sounds to her as if he is 
denying his feelings or problems. She then attempts to help him by asking questions or talking

The Martian/Venusian Phrase Dictionary 
 
"I'm OK" translated into Venusian means "I am OK, I can deal with my upset. I don't need any

"I'm fine" translated into Venusian means "I am fine because I am successfully dealing with my 
upset or problem. I don't need any help. If I do I will ask." 
 
Without this translation, when he says "I am fine" she may hear "I don't care about what has

Without this translation, when he says "Nothing is bothering me" she may hear "I don't know
