Hello,
How are you?
The first answer that comes to my head when asked that question is "Fine, you?" even If I have had the worst day, it's still "Fine."
Why do we feel the need to answer with fine, why don't we answer with "Im feeling awful today" or I have a headache, my foot hurts and I'm rather irritated.
The question how are you? Has become less of a question and more of a courtesy, even If you are always going to get roughly the same answer.
