How is it meaningful to have neverending scripts of "hey how are you" "I'm good how are you" "good thanks. How was your day?" "It was good how was yours?" "It was alright thanks." I would be happy to never ever ever answer those questions again. I'll tell you how I'm feeling when I have something to say about it and I'll talk you about something that happened during my day if I want to. I expect the same from you. I'm also happy to just sit near you in silence. Watch something together or do our own thing.
My wife and I have a midpoint that works for us, which is asking those questions, but sincerely.
When ask how she is, or how her day was, I genuinely want to know. And her answer can include as much or as little detail as she feels like sharing. And the reverse is true too.
