If someone asks, "How are you?", how do you respond in a way that leaves the answer ambiguous, but also doesn't raise suspicion for your wellbeing or make you sound pessimistic?
If I answer, "I'm fine" or "I'm doing fine", this makes it sound like I'm having a rough time.
Same with "I'm doing alright" or "I'm doing ok".
Recently I've been answering "I'm doing well". It feels like a more modest way of saying "I'm good'. But it still doesn't feel honest or authentic. I'm not doing that well.
