Usually when I ask people " How are you?" they reply to me same answer "I'm Ok!". But there are people that would just answer that way though they're not. Still would say "I'm ok." even though they feel not good.

Most of the time I mean I'm good, but ok is faster to say or type.

Haha. Interesting question. Usually when I say OK or I am fine, I am actually either feeling average or bad.
If I am feeling happy or good, I would reply 'I'm great!' or 'I'm very good!'
I do not think I am lying when I say I am Ok even though I might not be feeling so good. The reason why I say I am Ok instead of saying 'Oh, I feel bad' is because I do not wish for others to worry about me. All of us have our problems and I do not wish to burdened others with my problem. =D
