Q: When people ask how are you, you always say "good" or like "i'm always good because I'm alive and being alive is good" but sometimes people feel bad or sad or things that you've also admitted to feeling, so it's just unnecessarily confusing. like, do you think youll be attacked if you say you're having a bad day sometimes? you have to pretend not to be human and to be this mystery genius all the time even on a backpage question sheet? Is this toxic masulinity or what?
A: where i'm from, it is normal and customary to say "good" or "fine" as the answer to "how are you" etc
