I always respond thoughtfully to people I don’t like. Then I ask how they are and watch them squirm.

be advised: this will not work with the majority of neurodivergent people

It me!

Which is also probably why I give this answer. Because it irks me to some degree that we just throwaway important questions like another human’s well-being.
If someone responds without being tripped up, I sorta know they’re my kind of person.

oh same haha, if someone asks me a question they're getting the answer, i don't care that they expected a "i'm fine"

I just realized that I contradicted myself. I said that I use this with folks I don’t like, and then that when I use it, if someone responds well, that I know they’re my kinda people.

I don’t exclusively use it with folks I don’t like! I also throw it out playfully. It’s validating when folks respond in-kind.
