Replying to Change this if you want

When I hear “hi, how’s going” from Americans sometimes I’m getting triggered. I was growing in the culture where these words have a meaning and someone really interested in how you been doing! Here in the USA it’s doesn’t make too much sense and in most cases I ignore and just say “hey”

I think that just depends on stranger/acquaintance/friend level and is very contextual from my experience.

If you’re on your way somewhere it’s “empty” or cursory. Unless something is very wrong it’s just a human syn ack.

Meeting friends or stopping for a few minutes it means something more.

I guess ymmv and I can’t speak for the rest of the US.
