I wonder why people ask. (I mostly know how people are without asking.) I take it that the question is there to monitor pessimism. When people ask how I am I could say 'Monitoring pessimism and signs of dejection like everyone else'. If you don't say you are feeling great, people start to become annoyed. Is that how it is where you are?
