Most of the time when asked “How are you doing?” I actually tell them, because I forget I’m supposed to always say, “I’m fine” even if I’m not.
You think as an older adult I would have learned by now…but nope.
Do you?
@autism101 @actuallyautistic I play it safe by saying, “Ok, and you?”
[Technically, I am ok; I’m up & in motion.]
The question feels intrusive to me, particularly since no one really cares about my answer.
To be honest, I’m not interested in their answer, either, or I would’ve asked first.
🤷🏽♀️
Also, I can scale the intonation of the "ok" to fit how truthful I feel comfortable being.
"ok."
"ok..."
"ok!"

With practice, you can also use "OK" to be "You're completely full of shit, but I'm not going to argue with you." Leslie Jordan perfected it in the movie Sordid Lives.
