The answers here matter more than the questions. Chinese has a whole register of pleasant non-answers - 还不错, 老样子, 马马虎虎, 还行 - and choosing between them is how you say something without saying anything. 老样子 means nothing has changed and you are fine with that; 马马虎虎 is a shrug. A learner who answers every 你最近怎么样 with 很好 sounds cheerful and slightly robotic.
