I kind of agree. You're supposed to say 'I'm good and you?'
But if you say 'well im having a shitty day' it's likely they wouldn't care anyways. --- 'We're not gonna make it, are we? People i mean.' 'It's in your nature to destroy yourselves.' ... Copied to Clipboard!

You're supposed to say 'I'm good and you?' half the time when I say "Im good, you?" people don't even respond to the question, they just move on to other stuff its a dumb question that is almost like a formality that should cease immediately lol ...

I started talking to my gf 4 years ago because I gave her an actual answer when she asked how I was lol
Granted, she actually was interested in more than "good, you?" but you never know if you just say that. Not saying you should go on a rant or detail your entire day but some people appreciate a genuine response because it shows you're interested in them, or that they're worth your time. --- PSN: LoveLikeJazz https://soundcloud.com/pacuta ...

Do people who think you have to give a detailed report not understand summarization? You can respond with one or a handful of words that give a general idea of how you're feeling/doing like "great" or "busy" or "okay" or "not so well". If the person you respond to is interested in more detail, they can ask for more information. It's really not complicated.

I hate when I answer and do the "and you?" and they don't answer back. I feel like a dummy or something when people use "How are you?" as just a greeting. How am I supposed to know when to legitimately answer?

I remember my manager admonishing me for just asking my coworker what I needed rather asking some greeting that lacks any depth yet is supposed show I care. Like he knew I constantly felt like shit and choose to avoid actually doing anything to show actual care but wants to rag on me for being direct.

Whenever I'm asked, I give a genuine number between 1 and 10. Sometimes I ask people for a number between 1 and 100 for a more genuine response. Literally everyone I ask is kinda taken back. They like it and the conversation kinda flourishes from there.
I average out about a 7 but sometimes I'm a 5. Sometimes I'm an 8 or a 7.5. --- R.I.P Chris, Daniel, Nancy Benoit https://youtu.be/yOL02oq2rj8 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Seems to be a US thing. It was very strange for tourists like us, when we traveled to the east coast this summer and were asked about how we are all the time.
In our country, when we ask someone "How are you", we mean it. We want to know how the other party is, or else we wouldn't have asked. --- Like: videogames, peaceful discussions, open-minded people Dislike: console wars, trolls, haters, review-bombing, bias ... Copied to Clipboard!
