How Are You?

What is your answer to "How are you?"

I face the question "How are you" innumerable times in a day, whether on the phone, email, video and audio chat, or in face-to-face communication.

• Is it a dumb question? Maybe. But, we all ask each other. Isn't it?

• Sometimes, I answer, "Good, Fine, Busy," and something similar.

Please don't laugh at me.

What should be the best answer to the question "How are you?"

• I know most of us to understand how to tackle the question.

• Keep your best answer with you! Use it when someone asks.

• Or, keep the answer a secret self-an lysis exclusively for yourself.

But, please don't laugh at me.

"How are you" is a c mmon question.

I won't say it appears to be a silly question. But I don't call it a dumb one. "How are you" is a good question to ask yourself. The answer to this common question may bring back the much-required confidence in your agging life.

When I ask myself "How are you" I get a little awkward feeling inside me. My self-talk with my inner self brings every detail about "How I am" now.

People in social interaction may ask simple questions like "What's up" or "How are you?" These questions may seem useless. However, "How are you" stands as a questioning window for an indirect self-introspection.

Let us look at some funny ans ers to "How are you" question.

I often thought t retaliate to such a silly question, but never did. The best possible answers are those which are funny and put the questioneer to further guessing.

• If I answer, "Better inside than outside," how does it look like?

" I am more fine than I appear to be," "I am happier than you can see me from outside" or similar answers can trigger the audience to guessing!

• If I answer, "I still haven't figured it out!" This is an answer I may like it because it often happens that we can't find out whether we are fine or we have any issues.

Please don't laugh at me! It is not always very clear even to ourselves what do we want in life. So, being happy or unhappy are very relative.

• I may like to say the answer it musically, such as "Amazinnnngggg .....ggggg."

Will you think that I am mad? No, it is fun and entertainment.

• Someone old may like to answer, "I am 75, but I feel I am 25." A young person may like to a swer, "I am 20, but I feel I am 70."

The answer starts with the age and extends it to the state of youth and wisdom.

I can exemplify more, but I have decided not to over do it.

Closing thoughts

We often face common questions in social interactions.

Many people ask "How are you?"

• We may answer anything we feel right.

• Most of us answer the generic "I am fine" one. Isn't it a boring answer?

Instead, if you punch some fun and authenticity, your answers would be interesting. People will like your answers.
