What do you not like talking about? (piefed.social)

Doesn't have to be about over traumatic-related things, but just in general, things you don't like talking about. Whether it'll bum you down, distract you or vice versa.

I don't like talking about work, my job and how the week went. All it'll do and has done, is make me dread of upcoming work weeks even during my time off. I hate being asked the typical question "how was your day at work?" any other time. Because the answer is just going to be unsatisfying and I get annoyed even having to answer that question. It's not that I'm hiding anything, it's just that it's fucking work and it is the same damn thing every night. I put up with stupid fucking people, even dumber co-workers and I work in a system that is massively ungrateful for what you do for it.

That's all you'll ever need to know about it, so stop trying to get me to talk about that shit.

I kinda feel that way about like people just asking me how things are going because it feels like I have not been able to give a decent answer for long periods one of which I am in now. I will say I don't talk much about the environment anymore simply because we are so far down the unstoppable decline and partially because the effects are hitting our present day so much that the effects are basically day to day and much of the reason things are like they are now. We are a finite snake eating its tail.
