A phatic expression (used as a greet or "small talk" for its own sake) for which I have an
unaffected scorn. When I get up in the mornings, I have no desire to tell people good morning. I just want to be left alone. It's so annoying because half the time the people who say this are just random people at school like teachers who don't actually care, and only say it out of some moral obligation, and you're
coerced into saying it back out of the same moral obligation and unbreakable social decency. I have social anxiety and really just don't want to talk to anyone. If it's said by someone who may actually give a shit, like family members or friends, then fine, but if it's stupid teachers who don't even acknowledge you but the first 10 seconds in the morning that they see you, then the phrase itself can go to Hell
for all I care.
