I hadn’t seen that comic before, thanks for showing me. Myself, I don’t really see the point in making a complicated and unnecessary lie, I much prefer to avoid the topic.
I have the opposite issue – sometimes I just want to sit/lie down and do nothing. Try to calm the nerves and just feel the moment without the pressure. But I can’t, because there’s always wife and kids and stuff to be taken care of for the house. Sometimes I make excuses and just go down the block to throw some trash in the dumpster.. then I just sit there for a while and let the tension uncoil and the thoughts settle.
Often talking about my condition amounts to them completely misunderstanding me. Imagine someone telling someone else with a broken leg to just “walk it off,” and there you have everyone’s advice for me.
My question is, why is nothing not an acceptable answer to that question? Whenever its asked of me I always assume people are expecting some sexy exciting answer, that I actually did something interesting. So when I haven’t done anything interesting I just say nothing. I had a manager at one of my previous jobs get angry at me and say “So what you didn’t move or breathe?” and when I said that they were being silly they went all “So you did something! What did you do?” and basically told me that if they asked what I did on whatever day, I HAD to tell them everything I did. Why do people feel entitled to know exactly what other people do with their lives?

You’ve been talking to my mother, haven’t you?
Sometimes I use these types of answers to see if anyone really cares enough to see through them. Not a lot of people do.
Spot on..
The best thing about getting married was my wife making sure I didn’t spend anymore weekends that way. It wasn’t always pleasant, but it did help.

Well, exactly. Lately, I’m doing “nothing” all the time.
It’s exactly what I say when asked this question.
For some reason, “doing nothing” feels like rather exhausting work, just completely unproductive …
