I need to come up with a better answer to the question, “How are you?” There needs to be a way for me to communicate the following without sounding like a jerk:
- I don’t have an answer to that question right now.
- I don’t owe you an answer.
- It’s totally cool for me to decline answering due to the factors above.
“Okay,” just isn’t satisfying for me.
Actually, my usual answer to the unnecessary inquiry into my well-being is, “Upright."
@Troll yeah, I’ve used that one too *sigh*
