At this moment in my life it seems like the most difficult question I can be asked is How are you doing?

I want to state up front that I have no resentment towards those who would ask me the question. I do appreciate the question, whether out of genuine concern, curiosity, or courtesy.

I just have the hardest time answering it. I find it exhausting,

If it's someone I know well enough, I will at times answer "How are you doing?" with "I have no idea." It's probably a pretty egregious violation of the social contract, but it's honest.
