Handbook for the Socially Awkward

You can submit your experiences dealing with the socially awkward.
Maybe we'll even post it. Take luck.

#6. When a person you don’t really know casually asks, “How are you?” you should not take it as an invitation to share personal details about yourself and/or your problems.

If still unsure of the proper response, a few are provided below:

  • “Fine, thanks.”
  • “Pretty good.”
  • “I’m doing well.”

Feel free to add, “…and you?” to the end of any of those options.
