| I seemed/seem to have problems with near everything. The authorities, fellow students, break times where we would be forced into a small outside space and would have to socially interact with each other, social subjects, group work...

| "What are you doing?"? Thats a logical question that your boss might ask if he sees you engaged in a seemingly inane task. Dont see how thats in the same category as "how are you?". Its not a ritualistic question. In that sense, it is easy to answer. However people tend to use it in small talk - ge... |

| Anyway, I hate that question, along with the question "what are you doing?", so I'm usually bound to give a satirical response. I hate that question. I never ever know how to answer it.
