Imagine if everybody would actually answer with the truth to the question "How are you?", instead of going with the classic "fine, thank you" polite answers.

    for the most cases ( mening random encounters ) it's a waste of time... they don't know you and even if you spend an hour to explain how you really feel they most probably won't get it... but I really am fine most of the time thank you ;)

    people who can't bear the answer can go fuck off and ask somebody else their dishonest smalltalk-question.

    I was wondering that this morning after someone asked me this and I said “pretty good how bout u”. What I meant to say was, “mmmm prettttTTyyy SHITT actUALLY!! I am covered in kimchi that exploded on me at the grocery store and I only got a few hours of sleep! And I feel like my body is destroying itself!!!”

    @chonky-quiche sounds like something that would happen in a tacobell bathroom.

    Tired as hell but surprisingly not bad, except that since yesterday my guts are fucking exploding and it makes meeting my girlfriend's girlfriend a bit awkward. And you?

    I usually respond honestly to people, which they usually don’t know how to respond to because most people just say “okay” or “good, thanks”. I think most people that know me either a) learn not to ask or b) genuinely care about the answer and continue to inquire.

    I actually got asked just that yesterday in the forest (lit. out of nowhere). I hadn't thought about myself in a while so I just stopped to think about how I am and they went on to ask their actual question after a brief silence.
