Does anyone else hate the phrase "How are you?"?

The reason I don’t like it is because when people ask that question it’s not really honest. They do it because you’re supposed to and it’s polite and could care less what your response is for the most part.

You’re supposed to say “Good” or “Fine” and if it’s something like “Not good” it becomes kind of a sympathy story or something personal as to why.

The biggest reasons why I don’t like it is because people don’t WAIT for you to answer. They’re like “How are you?” and then just start doing whatever like they don’t expect a response from you….or when YOU respond “How about you?” Usually you don’t get a response or they just say the same “Good, thanks.”
