never am i

[Sera sera]

Speaker 1- Don't ever be ashamed of loving the strange thing that makes your weird little heart happy.

Speaker 2-Never am I.


Is this kind of reversion never am I grammatical?

 

[Raymott]

No, it isn't. The response to "Don't ever be ... " is "I never am." or "I can't help it", as the case may be.

Would you please give some examples in which we use this inversion?

Is it OK to say 'never am I afraid of death'?
