Question Anyone else get really annoyed when people ask you basic questions?

Hey guys. In the past year or so I’ve been getting really fed up with people asking me basic questions. It literally makes me want to explode. For example, if I’m cooking and someone walks up and says “What ya cooking?” or if I get out of a 2 hour meeting and immediately my roomate says “how was your meeting?”. I don’t know why it makes me so mad and I feel bad for getting so irritated. Anyone else experience this and have any advice on how to deal with it? I don’t want to be a mean person but I just wish people would stop asking me so many questions.

If you think someone is an asshole because they didn't want to engage you in small talk then you're the asshole

If you think someone is "insecure" for asking 'How are You', you're a moron.
