Is it normal to hate interrogative greetings?
What's up? How ya doin? How's it goin?
UGH!
I hate talking. I never speak, except when absolutely necessary. I try very hard to ignore everyone where I work, or whenever I am out in public. If eye contact is inevitable, I usually just greet people with a nod of the head or a wave or something, just so I can pass for human. But occasionally, someone will greet me with a question while not even looking at me, which forces me to either say something, or have them think I hate them (which I do). Why can't people just shut up? Nobody cares how I'm doing, and they know I am just going to lie and say "fine", even though I, like everyone else, am miserable all the time. If you are in the habit of doing this, stop. Now.
