Anyone else getting tired of “How are you?”

Srs I must answer this atleast 20x a day. Who the fuk cares how I am?

Not asking it back anymore unless I genuinely am interested. And if we’re practically strangers, sorry but I’m probably not.

Can we all just say “hi” or “hey” and leave it at that?

Yep. Happens way too often

Or the classic “How are you?”
“Good, how are you?”
“That’s good, how are you?

I also hate that question. And then, after someone asks you that question, they will think you're rude if don't ask them the question ... you have to ask them, "How are you?" after they ask you, "How are you?"

I prefer to just exchange hellos

that is the final evolution. both parties realize neither cares how the other is, but it is said to open communication channels incase anything else needs to be said now or in the immediate future.

Yeah I hate it because it isn't sincere. People ask me how I am and I answer "Fine and how about yourself?" then they just stop talking.

This is the current metagame of conversation openers. I used to dislike small talk until I realized it is just a game like everything else and can be fun depending on the situation. Feel less like an awkward ******* knowing I can hold my own in any social situation

Worse, I’ve been in a neutral mood. Co-worker asks what’s wrong? Nothing until another grown man asked me “whats wrong”? Agree with OP, why does my mood matter.

Just got another “how are you” from an uber driver. Just replied “hey”. Not doing this chit anymore

Asking if you have time to talk = "do you have time for alongconversation?"

Everyone always ask how are you, but nobody ever ask WHO are you.

Yes,

I have a lot of conference calls I have to get on at work.

And they all start with the same BS smalltalk, several times a day

"How is everyone?"

"good"

"good"

"good"

"good how about you?"

"im good too thanks for asking"

EVERY FUKING DAY MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY

Squat: 465x1
Strict press: 205x5
Deadlift: 405x13 (conv tap'n'go with straps)

I hate it. You just know it’s not genuine, unless you’re close with the person

“How are you” has lost all meaning

Yep, even if I wasn't "good", no way I would announce that on a conference call
