15. I think some people when they ask that, are just filling empty air.

and they don't really care.
Where I live (apartment building) I pass a lot of people as I go to and fro.
Sometimes someone will say, "going for a walk?" if i'm carrying a book, "Going to the library?"
etc.
These are older people who mostly don't go anywhere, so I just mumble something unintelligible and keep walking.
I understand their need for conversation, even a brief one, but I also respect my need to not always be interacting with people every time I come or go.
