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

        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.

            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.
