Often people ask their friends, colleagues and relatives about their current life happenings. They usually ask it with “Hope Everything is fine”. You must have also witnessed the authenticity of concern tied in such phrases. Some folks are more interested to derive dopamine by knowing about the turmoil happening in your life whereas some are genuinely concerned about your mental health and well-being. Depending on the authenticity of the asker, you could either give a conventional logical reply or come up with a funny sarcastic response. This post has plenty of ready-made replies but before that, we would like to explain few things.
How to check the authenticity of the asker?
When people say “Hope Everything is fine”, they want you to reveal your life’s current affairs which requires lots of vulnerability. While some people are genuinely concerned about your well-being, others merely use the phrase to strike up conversation and to gain pleasure. The latter type of folks often acquire information for their daily gossips. Therefore, you need to identify the folks who are genuinely concerned about you. People who keeps in touch with you rather than only on the special occasions tend to have more concerns about you. To such, you may feel like revealing the current honest status of your life.
However, people who often come out of the blue to enquire, usually are less-concerned about you in general and merely looking for some spicy news to satisfy the dopamine urge. To them you can always give a funny and even sarcastic responses.
