How are you?

In Australia,
When I ask people:
How are you?
They immediately answer:
I'm good. Thank you. How about you?
Then I normally reply:
I'm good too.

However,
there's  no point in asking a question that has the same reply all the time.

Hence I've stopped rushing off as much,
and now I actually pause and look at people
to demand for longer, more legit answers
that convey more meaning than just a society norm.

Getting to know people and
trying to understand them requires effort,
and there is no short cut in communication.
Even though the text language has permeated through conversation times.
