Ok so here is about the closest I have got to anger recently. I said hi to a person I know, they relied hi too but looked a bit down. I was worried something was up and asked if anything was the matter. They replied that they had to shampoo their carpet and that it would take "fucking ages". This was what was the matter. And they seemed to expect me to sympathise, to expend some of my emotional energy in their support.

How can this person possibly be so selfish as to allow themself to get in a such bad mood over a household chore?

If anyone asks me "how are you?", "how was your day?", I invariably answer "good", "fine". This is not just a thing to say, it is because it is true. I am not living in constant fear of my life; nor starving or being tortured or falsely imprisoned, or living in the street. This might sound like an extreme thing to compare against but these things are hapenning to other people right now. I have the use of all five senses and all the parts of my body work pretty much as they should do. I have been blessed with freedom, health and opportunity. So yes, I had a good day. And I think there's a good chance you did too.
