I’m fine.
Or D= Means the speaker is from east Asia, because that’s the ONLY response taught to answer that question there.
D=I don’t want to talk to you, but I will be polite
Or D could be “I think you’re asking to be polite, not because you care”.
Congrats! You are fine & great !
Best regards

Haha, agreed on “D= Means the speaker is from east Asia, because that’s the ONLY response taught to answer that question there” but I would also like to add E=Means the speaker is looking in a mirror and likes what s/he sees.
I try not to say it, but when I do it means: “F.I.N.E.*” is a song by American hard rock band Aerosmith. It was written by lead singer Steven Tyler and lead guitarist Joe Perry. The song title is an acronym for “Fucked Up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional”, as stated in the album’s liner notes.
I prefer “I’m alive.”
That way, when people say, “Ahh, that’s good,” I always reply with, “It beats the shit out of the alternative.”
I usually just say, “Too soon to tell”.
In almost all cases, the answer means “I’m not Eastern European”, since the cultural norm there is to give an honest (and sometimes quite detailed) answer.
i thought c would be the largest, just from experience.
Needs a lot more C, i think.
I like to say ‘mostly normal’

To paraphrase the lyrics of a German song: “fine is the little sister of shitty”…

C is a very sad statement =( There is so much in this world that is wonderful and amazing! Should you find yourself stuck in C, search for Love!
Wow, I was actually just thinking about this the other day. Having a string of really bad days, but I could always fake a smile and say “Oh, I’m alright” when the convenience store guy asks how I’m doing. Funny how that works.
@hemoglobin, that is a brilliant response…
D can also equal “I am thinking of other stuff right now and I don’t want to talk at the moment.”
hops: the common response i encounter in the US is a repeat of the same question. not sure it’s quite meaningful conversation either (:
Oh God, I was just talking about this with my coworker the other day… I asked him if, when customers asked how we were, your eyes screamed and you said “I’m terrible, I hate my life, but you don’t care.”
I linked this on Facebook. It sums up one of the best sermons I’ve ever heard as to why we need to ask like we care and answer like we mean it.
Thanks for the great diagram.
fortunately, my mom has always considered “fine” a red flag and doesn’t let me off that easy. that doesn’t mean i always tell her what’s wrong (and she’s right, something usually is wrong) but, i do give it some thought before responding.
