I never answer the questions just as no one asking truly wants to hear the truth that I am feeling awful.

Best way to make them uncomfortable? Answer honestly. They asked, they deserve the consequences... and you'll get to vent... I think of that as win-win.
Perhaps, people would be less likely to bandy this question about if more people answered it honestly, instead of just saying, "Fine, and you?"
