what do you automatically answer when people say "hello, how are you?"?

Answer 1

i'm good and yourself?. I always say it no matter how bad, mad sad or glad I feel, its just a automatic response

Answer 2

I give them a shock. My reply to that question is "I feel terrible" they then stop in their tracks, stare at me and then ask. "Oh that's too bad and what is the problem? I then reply and explain to them, If I said everything is good, I would not catch your attention. Most people agree and say that with an automatic response like that their attention would not even raise an eyebrow. But with a response like this one does catch ones attention.

Answer 3

If its in business its an automatic fine, or great. If its family or my best friend I tend to be more honest because I know with them I won't be misunderstood.

Answer 4

If it's a casual acquaintance I say would say fine thank you. If it's someone close I would tell them if I am fine or not doing so well.

Answer 5

Because the question itself is simply rhetorical and really doesn't require anything more than a simple acknowledgment...
I just say, "I'm fine, how are you?".

Answer 6

I say fine and u

Answer 7

Fine, thank you. How about you?

Either that, or I simply walk away, muttering, "What a terrible pick-up line."

Answer 8

Fine! Thank u.

Answer 9

I say fine thank you, and you? Have a blessed day!

Answer 10

Fine..... and I then say how are you and how you've been? We need to show some sign of courtesy.
