Years ago, someone asked me how I was. I said not that great, had a hard day… She told me that when someone actually asks you how you are, they do not want to hear you kvetching and really are not interested in how you are. Since then, when someone asks me how I am, I just say “fine.” Was she right that no one really wants to know? I am not talking about a close friend, but more of a casual friend or acquaintance.
