Putting On a Face

Based off the “how are you?” concept.
Basically people always say “hello, how are you?” and even though a person may blatantly not be fine, people generally accept a “fine” without any questions. Even if they're good friends. I've never once seen someone ask if they're really fine or not…
So then the front (or the mask) the “fine”-person puts on doesn't fit. I've found myself playing the “I'm fine” game a lot lately.

Blah unfortunately I tend to be one of those that settle with the "fine" answer really should change that about me -_-'

It's a pretty good standard response for a standard question. Clever idea. :]
