Your boss doesn't care about your feelings. Your boss cares about how much surplus value you are generating. If your boss asks you if something is bothering you, they think you aren't generating enough profit for the company. This could mean that they are thinking about firing you.

"Is anything bothering you?" is corporate speak for "get back to work or we'll fire you".

This is most likely the answer. I've been obviously upset and depressed before in team chats and nobody ever asked how I was doing and my work output was meeting expectations during that time

First time my manager ever asked me if I was okay was after my last quarterly expectations check-in where I failed to meet it and he was searching for answers on how to improve my performance
