I’d have to say only about 1 out of 5 people actually stopped and said “WHAT?” Others: “That’s great to hear, have a nice day” “I’m great, thanks for asking”, “Well its been a hard week, thanks for asking”. Etc, etc, etc. I even went one step further and actually stopped walking when they asked and looked right at them. Only those who where caught by my response actually stopped to talk. And would they have stopped if my answer was a normal response?
Amazing how such a personal question is “just a polite” acknowledgement of a person.
So please don’t ask unless you really want to take the time to listen.

But I feel there are people on this site who really do care
