Hi everyone. Been a long time reader but finally have the courage to finally post something. I hope this isn't a weird topic.
Questions like "what did you get up to on the weekend?" or "did you go anywhere/get up to anything for your holidays?".
I have a hard time answering these types of questions at work because I am shy, live mostly a solitude life and enjoy the relaxation of not dealing with people and friends on my weekends. Usually I spend my weekends playing games and I feel scared saying this because of the fear that they might think I'm not normal. By their definition of normal I mean hanging out with people, going clubbing, drinking until you vomit etc etc.
Initially I gave the reply of "Oh didn't do much, just did some R&R" but I can't keep using that every time obviously so I've started fabricating lies of hanging out with "friends" just to not seem weird.
It's getting to the point that I get scared of Mondays because of those questions and starting to try my best to avoid co-workers every Monday. Can anyone relate or knows how to deal with these types of questions?
