When someone asks you "how are you today?" do you actually think about it or do you just say "im good"

Answer 1

I actually think about it and I answer accordingly. Most of the time people don't hear you if you say you're feeling like crap, though.

Answer 2

I actually think about it and formulate an appropriate answer. However, I think the better question is, "When you ask someone how they are today, do you really care to hear their answer?"

I can tell you how I'm really feeling but only if you want to hear. I think that is the reason why most people just opt to say "they're good" and get on with their lives.

Answer 3

I just say something like I'm doing good or I'm OK, people usually don't want to hear the truth. It's really just a way of being polite.

Answer 4

If I'm talking to a friend I think about how my day has been.If its just anybody I either just say Im fine or not answer at all.

Answer 5

I'm a nurse, I get to hear how boring it really is to know how someone is, I smile say it's all good and think about the beer waiting in the fridge for me.

Answer 6

I think about it, but I know that most people just want me to answer "I'm fine" and move on. It's sort of an automatic politeness, not a real question in most cases.

Answer 7

Depends who asks it. If it's sombody I know really cares then I will think about it and answer honestly, otherwise I just say fine...

Answer 8

depends on who's asking, if it's someone I want to talk to I'll tell the truth but if it's someone I just want to go away I'll say 'i'm fine'

Answer 9

If I don't know the person and it's just small talk, I'll say I'm good.

With friends I don't have to say anything, they know what's up.

Answer 10

I just say, "I'm good." Very few people actually want to hear how you really are...
