No. If you don't care, the other party will likely detect it, especially if you are the sort to never look people in the eye, smile, or see them as anything more than background noise.

VampireCoyote 08/18/22 11:21:50 PM #2:	You dont owe anyone anything. You can just say fine and leave it at that, or you can ask them how theyre doing if you actually want to know. One of my personal favorites is to lock eyes with someone when they say that, say nothing, and then just sort of roll my eyes as I walk past them. --- She/her <cite>VampireCoyote posted [p:967410904] in If some bl...

TentacleDemon 08/19/22 5:24:37 AM #9:	"I'm good. Thanks for asking" is a perfect response here.
