Children answer this question without hedging. Asked how they are, they say fine, mean it, and go back to whatever they were doing.

Adults append clauses. Happy, considering. Healthy, apart from the thing I keep meaning to get checked. The qualifiers feel more honest and mostly they are just more anxious.
