So what are your responses when people ask, " how are you? ". "are you ok?" "whats up?"
I don't like to respond based on an emotional state because emotions change.
"Ok", for me, covers a very LARGE and Broad spectrum. I'm lazy and don't want to
think up words that describe the small narrow spectrum. "Ok" fits the bill and very handy.
Since I'm a private person and it takes me a long time to warm up to people, "ok", being
generic, doesn't invite a response into why I'm great or not great, until I'm ready to open up
with more details. When I do warm up to people, I usually still don't do a lot of talking with
people. I'm lazy and talking requires moving your mouth. Listening takes effort too.
After a conversation, I need a nap.
