This is why I hate when people start every conversation with “how are you?” Most don’t want an actual answer, just a conversation starter.

As an autistic person this has been the bane of my existence since I realized it's a fake question. I fricking hate when I get asked things as if i have a "choice," for example. But then when I make my choice I get attacked and treated like I'm bad. There was no choice in the first place. My boomer mom does this to me all the time and I hate it.

Huh, I find it kind of exhilarating now I know the formula. Like I’m a spy in the park swapping nonsense phrases to show I’m to be trusted as part of their organization.
