How are you doing?
I have been hearing that phrase a lot lately and I call it a phrase not a question for a reason. I don't think a lot of people that say it really mean it as a question it is more a statement just a phrase. Are you okay means, maybe I really don't want to know but I am making a statement by acting like I care, and maybe they do. But I don't think they really want to know the answer. Or maybe they are just expecting what everyone usually says. Like "fine" "okay" "hangin in there", but am I???!!!! No that's just what you say to someone that asks you that! Ugg.

It's just one of those human things, we want to and need to feel like we have empathy for others around up who are suffering. But usually we have no idea what sort of pain they are truely in and you are right we probably don't want to truely know. But alas that is how the good intentions and niceities of society go. My advice is just say "fine" and know that only those who truely love you and who you feel truely comfortable with will allow you to not be "fine", but you and feel what you are feeling with no apologies.
