Disliking ''How are you?''

It happened in an unexpected way as always, the end of reasoning and final conclusion to ''Why I don't like being asked how I feel'' stopped me on a way to the toilet. Stuck out tongue

I know why now. It does not matter if I'm good or bad at the moment of being asked, and it was leading my reasoning astray, I was wrong to think I don't like it only when I'm not good. The truth is, I would never be allowed to give full answer. It would have been interrupted with one of many reasons, e.g. stop complaining, you're weirdo, and giving half an answer is misleading. I've felt bad after, or worse than before, and I couldn't tell why exactly, or what I feel, but  I identified that feeling at last, as feeling like a liar.

It's funny as most of the time any answer to that question is a lie, and they keep forcing us to do it. So, the answer was right in front of me, congrats Mr Hilary

I begun to practise dodging answering, we'll see how it goes.

  • How are we supposed to reply to a question that is objective that requires either 1 answer a) yes I'm fine or b) I'm not that good.

    They want an honest truthful answer, and then they are told I don't feel too good because of........ Then the person asking the question interrupts and says I just asked how you are, not wanted war and peace parts 1 and 2!

    I still would say for example yes I'm good, I went to see a movie today and it was great. Instead of im good.
