Are You Sure?

Short, simple, but very effective. “Are you sure?” allows me to take the bait if I want to and open up a bit, or reply with a “yeah, I’m alright, thank you”, safe in the knowledge that the person who’s asked me how I am actually wants to know how I am, rather than chucking a clichéd greeting at me.
