How are you

Sometimes people ask you what mood you are in and you go through and internal debate whether to tell the person, perhaps a person who you do not want to lie to, how you feel or retain your negative feelings so they do not bog down the person. It is easier to retain the emotion when you are asked someone who does not really care. I generally try to share my actual mood because people don't ask you your mood unless they care or suck at small talk and if they suck at small talk I can detect that and respond with a generic response. huzzah!
