RE: How do you respond to the question "How are you?"

The stock reply I usually give is "I'm fine, how are you?" or some variation on the theme.

What is annoying is that you can't ask people how they are. Even friends will tell you they're fine when everything seems to indicate otherwise.

If I ask "how are you?" it means "I want to know how you feel, I hope you're doing great but if you're not, feel free to share because I know you and would like to know how you're actually doing." In short, when I ask "how are you?", it typically means "how are you?". Strange, I know...

Always forgive your enemies: nothing annoys them so much.
