Yeah, I mean don't ask me how I'm doing if you don't want to hear the answer. Don't look at me weird when I say "not great" if you're the one who asked!

I'm not obliged to say "Great, thanks!" when you ask me how I am. I'm not doing great, and I'm not gonna lie about it just to make you feel better about a question that you asked!

That's what I mean when I say I hate smalltalk. It's so insincere, and exhausting to carry on day-to-day with no deeper conversation.
