It's also tiring when people "care" too much. They think they can judge you and that you have to follow all the advice they give. Personally, I want only those people whom I care about to care about me.

Plus, in my native language,"how are you" is simply a "hello," so I don't really expect people to actually want to know what's going on in my life. On the contrary, many people in my country are too inquisitive about other people's lives. They ask too much, but they actually don't care. They just want something to gossip about. I think that's even worse.
