When you ask "how are you?" And you only expecting "Fine,thanks" then why do you even ask?

I have seen people not ready to hear what others have to say other than they are fine.

But when you ask 'how are you' to some people, you immediately become their doctor, surgeon, financial advisor, therapist, mechanic and victim...

@Tumbleweed
victim...

Leave it to you to come up with this. 🙄

@Degbeme I'm sociable like that!
In common usage, it is more often a way of saying hello (and thus fulfilling some of the social niceties), not a serious inquiry into the health--physical, mental, spiritual, emotional--of you and yours.

The expected response should be proffered unless your world is falling apart...and even then, think twice. 😉

When I ask my friends "How are you" I really want to know how they are. Otherwise, you are correct, I really don't expect anyone to tell me how the feel. Sometimes I am surprised, and that's okay.
I alwaya say fine. Nobody wants to know my problems
