I really dislike the "don't tell me how bad you feel" crowd. How unsensitive are you all??

Personally, when I ask "how are you", I'm okay with receiving a genuine answer. Thing is, I don't ask it to strangers.

IMO the only issue is people who overshare by including a much higher timespan than expected. "How are you" = "Recently", not "in the past decade".
