It’s an awkward question when your ex asks you if you’re okay. How can I answer without being rude or making myself appear too relaxed? Here are some ways to answer.

1. "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

This is the most common way of answering. It is concise and clear, expresses gratitude to the ex, and does not communicate too much.

2. "I am better off now than before."

This way of answering can let your ex know that you have gotten over the breakup and that your life has become better. But be careful not to show off too much, otherwise it will leave a bad impression.

3. "I am still adapting to the new living conditions."

If you haven't completely gotten over a breakup, or are going through some difficult times, this is the answer to choose. It expresses your current situation both honestly and tactfully.

4. "I'm very busy and don't have time to think so much."

This way of answering can let your ex know that you have started a new life and are very busy. But be careful not to let the other person feel that you are indifferent to them.

5. "I'm fine, but we have broken up. I hope you can live well too."

This way of answering expresses blessings to your ex and also lets them know that you have gotten over the breakup. But be careful not to let the other person feel that you are deliberately irritating them.

When your ex asks you how you are, you can choose the answer that suits you based on your actual situation. No matter what, be polite and respectful and don't leave a bad impression on the other person.
