How are you? Really.

Question shamelessly stolen from our old friend and former jelly, Hawaii_Jake. See his last entry on this topic here.

We often ask people how they’re doing, and we rarely expect any kind of detailed answer. We almost always answer that we’re fine or good or some other innocuous word. There’s little thought placed on our reply, and it is often not even heard. The conversation or encounter will quickly move on to more pertinent matters.

Fluther is a relatively anonymous forum where we can take a minute to reflect and answer truthfully. Let the collective know how you’re doing these days.

How are you?

Really.
