What's the loneliest thing you've ever done or seen someone do?

-Say "fine" to the question how are you?
-This is somehow....very sad. People who are truly lonely or people who know that something's wrong with them will feel very different when saying fine. I say this because I'm at this state right now.
What I'm talking about isn't a simple "you say fine when you're stressed about your family situation" or something small like that. It's when you feel sympathy for your pathetic self as you say the word "fine" and you feel even more bad about yourself and you can't let that situation go easily even though it was one of the most simple conversation that lasted 2~3 seconds.
I always feel strange and weirdly depressed after I respond and say "Nothing", or "I'm good!" for a short moment.
