My favorite to use: "not gonna lie to you."
My coworker once when I asked him a hard question: "Don't make me lie to you."
I still think of that a lot and try to work it in when someone asks me an impossible question.
I think that response actually works for the loaded question:
“Have you stopped beating your wife?“
Easy answer: No
Though someone can assume another answer it should be followed up by another question, such as: why not? Then you can explain: "Never started" for instance
Though the answer of "don't make me lie to you" is still a good one and prevents further questions
Implying that you... sometimes do!? :-P
When it comes to how I'm feeling? Sure, often even
Implying that if you said "i'm (fine/ok/alright/good/etc)" would be a lie.
Since it is super easy, barely an inconvenience, I am going to share this link from where my statement came from:-)

(I wish Lemmy would show preview pics of YouTube videos to let people have a glimpse of what they are in for, but hopefully my hints were enough here:-)
Oh! Thank you for the context!
(off-topic: I LOVE this cat)
Not off topic at all - when he showed up, the topic became all about him, in true business cat style - he will not allow it any other way!!! 😹
I usually just go with "sheeeeeeeeeeiiiiiit"
