“How are things?”

I hate that, and similar, questions.
I don't wanna lie,but I also don't wanna load my negativity onto anyone (it's different on this site tho, as I'm anonymous and people don't pretend to empathize)

Well.. all be better once i hear all about you and how you got to this post?

It's just some social grease. The word 'fine' just keeps the gears moving.

it's so disrespectful, it's like why can't u see i'm dissociating here. mind ya biz

Well lets see, im going to guess miserable at best🙂

LoL

I know that feeling.

Would it be better if I asked "How are those?"
