It doesn't sound as though they were real talkative with your either. What they found so humorous is beyond me! Personally, I find your response to be completely appropriate. (Note: I'm not the talkative type myself) Yes, you could have said , "I'm doing pretty well thank you. How are you? Are you feeling well?.." That would probably make you seem more interested and friendly. But, they could have easily cut down your Q's with simple one-word answers. Like, "Fine." Then it would have been more awkwardly quiet!

Whatever! We take our social cues from each other. If people don't seem real interested in me or whatever I'm saying, I close up like a clam. If they are friendly and open, I slowly open up. I do open much more slowly than others, as a self-defense technique. Sometimes, my technique works against me ~ preventing myself from having a lot more relationships. But, that's a cut I'm willing to take to protect myself from being pushed away.

I do understand that you're feeling hurt and alienated. I've felt the same way myself many times. I also know how bad it is to turn all negative thoughts inward and blame myself for everything....not good! Try to use your logical mind to forgive yourself for the situations like above. Your bf or someone else could have spoke, but they didn't. You don't deserve the blame.
