Is it too much for me to want her to see through my "I'm okay answer" and just look me in the eyes and say "no, you're not okay"

Truth hurts less than that thinly veiled halftruth which you're hoping they'll see through.

Personal experience.

Once, one of my friends told me "ya, sure whatever I'm fine don't worry about me"
So I was like "That's bullshit and both you and I know it so don't try to pretend , okay?"
And that friend is doing much better now, he and I talked about it for a long time. Now, whenever some one says "ya, I'm ok, don't worry about me" i just turn around and say "don't lie, if you want me to think you're ok, say something like "im good" but we all know I'm fine is bullshit"

If you are not fine you ought to say so. Even if someone just asks you how you are in a conversational way, something like "Lately I've been stressed out/ bored/ kind of down/ whatever, but how are you?" is a perfectly acceptable answer.

You say "yeah, I'm fine" in order to make people leave you alone. If people see through that, you get angry. I know that I've known they weren't, but made myself believe my friends were fine out of fear more than anything else.

All I can say is much love and good luck with whatever you're going through.
