I don't know. Maybe I am just weird, but I do ask people how they are and if they are having a good day, etc - but when I do, it's not fake. I want to hear the answer, or whatever they are willing to tell me. I don't just have a pre-made notion in my head everyone is always "great", and nobody ever needs or wants to talk, nor that I should make them talk if they don't want to (there are exceptions to that depending on the circumstances). I have difficulties figuring out why it's so hard for people to be genuine. ... It's frustrating but it's hurtful too.
