Or, “How have you been?” Or “How are you doing?”. These are one of the most cliched questions. When you get to its heart, it’s about being honest with the person asking you. But do you want to be vulnerable in front of anyone? There are times you want to share a piece of your puzzled mind - not necessarily seeking help to solve it, it could also be just untangle yourself of it. It’s a sense of freedom. So when do you answer such cliched questions honestly? It sounds cliched even when you hear it from the closest friend. May be there is a way that strikes a chord. “How are you feeling today?” Take a chance. It may also lose its pulse.
