As someone who uses “wishing and hoping you are doing well” truly, and sincerely meaning it, I will offer a different point of view, my point of view—that is, for other people, your thought may as well ring true. I am sure I am not alone on my way of thinking.
I use it in two very specific scenarios; (a) when wanting to touch bases briefly, letting the person know I care for them, and have them in my mind, and (b) when not wanting to come across as intruding (that is, giving the person their “space”, for various reasons), while still letting them know that I care. In both cases it is a knock at the proverbial door, allowing the person I care for to open up, should they desire. ☺️
