Diving Deep into the phrase "How are you?" is not a request for information; it is a "social handshake." The Hidden Rules: In English-speaking cultures, responding with a detailed list of your problems is often seen as a "social error."
The expected answer is "Fine, thanks," even if you are having a bad day. The Social Contract: This greeting maintains the peace. It says: "I see you, and I am friendly."
Breaking this rule by being "too honest" can make the other person feel uncomfortable because they weren't prepared for a real conversation. Modern Evolution: In the digital age, we see "How are you?" shrinking. "You good?" or "What's up?" are faster versions.
Sometimes, people avoid the question entirely to skip the "small talk" and get straight to the point, which changes how we build relationships.
