What do you think about the "How are you?" question?
I, personally, do not like this question and I have never liked it.
I do not know what to answer.
Also, a lot of the time, I think it is expected just to give a positive answer, but I often feel awful to say "Fine!" simply to be polite if I am not fine.

Sometimes I say my parents met and either the rest is history, or so here I am, as often as possible, or with enough detail to deter further enquires of that nature.
And when people ask me if I am 'all-right' ~ I say I am half left but more in-between, or if not I would topple over! ;-)
Another deterrent for most is that I say I am one sixth right, left, up, down, front and back or even in sevenths and eighths I am the the centre-point.
P.S. I also avoid answering yes or no questions as I also have yes and no and neither yes or no answers, as depends on which states of my mind-body relationship are to lesser or greater extents more active, or latent.
