People who never say the three small words...

Nope,not I Love You. But the other phrase - the simple phrase consisting of 3 short words, 3 syllabuses (ok, syllabi?): How Are You?
For some reason this is a pet peeve of mine. People who dont ever ask how are you? I have afew friends like this who will text me all about their day and never bother to ask me how mine is going. Or even at work, certain cold or crabby coworkers will respond to my "How Are You?" With a "OK" or "fine" and then silence...
Why does this drive me crazy? Does it drive you crazy too?
In a way I feel its a little selfish. Or not complying with what seems to be an unwritten rule. Even if you dont care how I am, shouldnt you still ask? Maybe its just me...But do you ever experience this?

I feel that the " how are you" should only be the start for something.

@maezee yes of yes I had a coworker years back that did that she never asked how i was but told me for a long long ti me how she was and all her health complaints I was friendly with her as she was my best friend's roommate. oh and she would brag about how wealthy her hubby had been and lef her well off then she used up all the funds
buying expernsive furniture for thier apartment. I dont think she ever asked me how I was ever.

When I text someone i always first say hi how are you ? Then start off with a conversation. I find it rude not asking the other person how they are. I do the same in person when talking to someone

You are right. Human brains does seek help from other person whenever they are in a situation of misery. Its the instincts of the people to tell about their problem first even before asking wellness of the people on the other side. Our mind can act so selfishly at these moments.

What I see are people on the opposite side of the spectrum -- people who always say "How are you?", but don't really mean it, and only say it so they could start off their own agenda as soon as you say you're OK, or you're fine.
I guess that in a way, it is very similar to people who don't say it also.
