Do I ever hate that saying
When did this become our national greeting?
This year I've gone thru some of the worst of my life

And every stranger has to ask how it's going?

What happened to hello, maybe how it's going is private.

It's ok.



So..how ya doin'?

it's not necessarily supposed to be literal, ya know?

I guess it's better than "How's it hanging?" That just sounds stupid. Especially
when a female is asked that.

i usually just go "hey" lol.. its quick its easy.. and its not to personal lol

hello.....i so know how u feel

I know, but when expressions like "hello" exist why do people say this. Why do I have to lie and say good all day.

you don't have to lie.

sometimes, if i'm not feeling so good i might say, "not bad", which is better than saying "good thanks!" like a robot all the fucking time. i do feel your pain on this issue.

Next time a person asks, go into lengthy detail with something made-up about how your morning has sucked including times, names of people and places of events, etc., and then see if they ask again the next day.

I know what your saying, but if your having a depressing day/week/month it feels like people are bringing it up to you over and over
