Is It Better to Ask a Question Like, Hey, How Are You Doing?

When we ask questions, we're almost invariably inviting a reciprocal reply. What i like about your approach is that it demonstrates some vulnerability and makes it easier for somebody else to demonstrate some vulnerability. That lowers the bar for people to be more forthcoming. I'm curious, because i ask a lot of questions, and i always assume that it's taken generally as a sign of curiosity in the person. But on the other hand, some people seem to just turn right off. How can you tell us about how feel about being asked questions, generally, whether sensitive or non sensitive questions?...
