This is a problematic societal expression for several reasons.
1) Because you’re pretty sure they’re not sincerely asking, you’re not sure how sincere to be in return. It’s a common courtesy, like smiling in the hallway. The asker doesn’t really want a serious response; they want a “Doin’ alright, and yourself?” Anything more than “Fine” would be overkill. But [...]
