Consider the relationship and context when responding
When someone asks, 'How are you?' it's important to consider the relationship and the context of the conversation. In some cases, such as with a friend, it may be appropriate to offer a more honest and personal response. Sharing how you're really doing can deepen the friendship and build trust. However, with acquaintances or in professional settings, it's often best to be more generic and respect boundaries. The goal is to find a balance between being open and maintaining appropriate levels of privacy.
