happens with cashiers
happens with coworkers
happens with random people when im walking to work or waiting at a bus stop.
people will just ask you, "How's it going, man!?"
sometimes i think they can tell im miserable/suicidal and hoping this is the last resort type of discussion that will keep me on the straight and narrow but typically it is just common to ask that because people are afraid of silence and think silence means something is wrong so they will say anything. for men at least. for women it is typically just a way to ask about your day but once you say, "fine" or "good" they just go on this long story about their life because that's actually what they wanted to do in the first place. they don't give a shit about your bullshit. they just want to tell someone about their day because they are probably in a shitty relationship (aka not Chad) or single (because whored it out young) and have no other person to talk to. if women weren't such sluts they would have had a 'good man' at home willing to listen to all her stories and care about what she says. but too bad she took 10inches of dick every night since she was 12 and the only thing that comes out of her mouth is spewing vomit and Chad-cum
anyway, going back to your theme, when people ask me that now i just walk on by or stay quiet. nothing is going to help me by answering such a faggot question. i just stay silent and keep it moving. in a way i do find it funny and crack a smirk when someone ask how my day is and i stay silent. so they think i didn't hear them so they ask again. and again i dont answer. then i see them going into panic mode because they can't comprehend the silence since they've been talking about nothing their whole miserable lives. and for a brief second they feel what it is to live the life of an incel.
