I ask people how they are only when I really care to know. When I moved to North America I didn't realize that they just ask that casually or just as a saying, so I took it literally at the benining. All other cultures I lived in don't have even near as much of pointless small talk and insincere questions as here in North America. I still can't get used to it all even though I live here in forever, plus I am fairly literal person.

I almost never ask others that question. I didn't notice that until recently. I'm not autistic. 😅
When others ask me that I don't know what to say. I'm trying to answer with something like : living... Lol.. Or like tired/hungry /stomach hurting.
I don't like the regular answers. I feel like it's fake

There's a wonderful Bill Bailey sketch about the British tendency to answer "not too bad". I thought about it and realised that it's the perfect answer, as it covers everything from "well, I'm still alive and able to talk, so that's something", to "yeah, things are pretty good but there's always room for improvement" and so you can say it whatever without actually lying or breaking from the form of the question.

I think it is more like "I wish you to be well." I think most people don't really want an unpleasant answer. Only very caring people really want to hear if you aren't doing well. When my grandmother was in her nineties, with painful arthritis and heart disease, she came up with the answer, "pretty good for rotten." It wasn't dishonest, but while it let people know that she was suffering from age-related ailments, it always got a laugh, instead of making other people feel bad.

I hold two realities at the same time. Part of me is fantastic and another part is troubled by many things I observe and am affected by because of the environment we live in and it's effects. I can choose which part I answer from and if the person asking wants to know. When I ask how someone is, I want to hear whatever they wish to respond according to what their intention is...

It's functionally ambiguous (a bit like sorry, which also means a lot of things): it's a somewhat fluid spectrum between greeting with potentially an opening for any emergency or immediately relevant statement (and some dialect variants like "alright" or "how do" or "wotcha" moreso that end ) or an actual question, but of varying depth to check in relative to the interaction or to life in general. Indicators like context, tone and speed of the words, and how well you know someone. For example is it in passing, a shop or cafe transaction, or are you sitting down in a cafe, meeting or someone's home with someone you know. And there's local variation across the globe where people speak English.

It's complicated! My friend taught me to say 'Glad to see you' and that made such a difference to my social anxiety around greetings. I've forgotten this in recent times ...good to be reminded.
