😅 It is boring! In a formal (eg work) context, it’s still the best answer. Less formally, these are all very common (of course, you can mix and match the umm, yeah etc!). Hope some of these liven up your conversations! If you’re really well/ happy: “Oh, really well, thanks!” “Great, thanks!” “I’m good, thanks” “Pretty good, thanks” If things are just ok: “Yeah, you know, not too bad” “Oh, well, I’m ok” “Umm, just so-so” “Well, hanging in there” (if you’re in a known difficult situation) If things aren’t ok: “Oh, not so good actually” “Well, things aren’t so great at the moment, I’m afraid”

Awesome

I must caution. Only use the colloquials and idioms with friends.

There's always English colloquials and idioms. "If I had a tail, I'd wag it." "I'm good now that you're here." "Can't complain, the grass was green side up this morning." "I've been worse, but the day's not over yet." "I'm still breathing." "Living the dream."
