I don't believe we should go into depth with those who aren't close to us. It's easy to tell those not close "not having a good time right now" rather than saying "fine" & not have any expectation of the conversation going any farther than the politeness of the "fine" interface. At least that way it's an honest answer that isn't expecting concern unless they are really interested.

Personally I don't WANT to share my personal information I share greeting interfaces with as it's really none of their business than to know things aren't "fine"...

BUT there are times when FINE is appropriate...
F - Fouled up
I - Insecure
N -Neurotic
E - Emotional

so one isn't always lying when one claims to be FINE
