How are you is one of the most annoying questions to me.

Most people only ask it for the sake of asking. No real point, not really trying to get to know your day, but rather to make you or other people feel like you’re conversing, and maybe get you to ask her the same question which will turn into a 20 minutes conversation, about her.

As much as I don’t like this question, I think it is only annoying when it comes from people that you see almost everyday. Or people you don’t really know.

But it is acceptable for friends. I had this experience yesterday.

“Sol, haven’t seen you for awhile, how are you?”

“Shitty.”

“Well well, that’s honest. What happened?”

“I hm.. don’t want to talk about it. Thanks for asking. It means a lot.”

“Aw.. I’ll remember you in my prayer.”

 

I enjoy honest and open conversation.
