In my friend circles even a question “where are you from?” is considered a bit rude.

Like who cares in 2025 - we will know each other better and eventually you will hear my life story, but asking that when we’ve just met - what for? What it would change?

It can be a very interesting conversation starter. I love hearing about the places people grew up, and how they ended up in the place they currently live. It’s a much better topic than the small talk about work or TV shows or whatever else people discuss the first time they meet.

  Then this is what OP should ask or answer :3
  
  Where did you grow up is slightly different and much more gentle then “where are you from”?
