Don’t ask ugh, this is one of those questions that everyone asks in greetings but they don’t expect an answer and they don’t want one.

They simply do not care how you are doing. They just think they are being polite.

Here is what I say, ‘I am glad you are here.’ So when I am at work and someone greets me I answer their non-question ‘How are you doing?’ With great and then I say, ‘I am glad you are here,’ or ‘It’s so good to see you.’

See the difference? Instead of asking a question that you don’t care to hear the answer to, you make the person feel wanted or valued.

Anyway, that is all for today. Everyone have fun today. I’m glad you are here.
