Do you actually expect an honest answer when you ask someone how they are?

I never expect an honest answer because let’s face it even if something is wrong you’ll most likely get the answer “I’m fine”, “Nothing”, or “It’s fine”. But I’d prefer a honest answer because if I can be there or help I will.

I don’t expect a long, vulnerable response but am willing to listen and it doesn’t hurt to ask.

To ask how someone is doing seems to be how most passing conversations start ha ha, it rarely seems like an invite to actually go into detail. You say it expecting the generic responses, ‘not too bad’ ect

I always answer that way, I don’t like to be a complainer, or listen to one unexpectedly.

If I’m genuinely asking a friend or loved one I would hope they’d want to talk to me honestly ❤️

No, I don’t expect an honest answer. Things can never be always right to a person and also we are not always ready to share every of our grievances. You know I can Say am fine but not really.

Actually, if something is not right with me and someone ask me how are you. I didn’t give a honest answer I just say I’m fine thanks!! So no I don’t really expect anyone to give me a honest answer too.
