Where were you? What did you do? Who were you with?

I hate these three questions..

if I go somewhere, what does it matter where- I am back now aren't I?

I did what I went out to do and now that task is either complete or I need to stop talking to you to compete this task.

I do not enjoy being with anyone, so who do you think I was with? Myself, and if anyone was with me it is because they bugged me enough to tag along.

does this sound sociopathic? Autistic? some other stupid box?

I don';t know...I don't care..i am so tired of people asking me "where did you go?"

I can only process what is happening in the moment and as it happens I am not there anymore I don't really care to discuss where I was because i am no longer there but here.

I relate to this, because I dont understand why people need such information, and I actually think they dont really care about the answer (most of the time), so I think it is often just a way of being nice to ask them.
I used to be annoyed by this myself, but it doesnt bother me anymore.
I think its funny to give unbelieavable answers to such questions, like ca. a week ago, I was asked by a person which I hardly know, where I had been before I met them, and I answered "on mars", which was funny, and nobody asked again, it was just ok.

For me it's not so much that I find it annoying, it's more that it makes me uncomfortable. Sometimes I forgo doing things because it's easier than having to explain what I did (or will do) and when and why.

i respond like this:

Sometimes, if I really don't like someone, I'll make up the stupidist answers in the world such as:

Where'd you go? Out to buy some crack and picked up a prostitute.

No seriously, what were you doing? Well I ---list a bunch of the most disgusting sexual euphemisms I've ever heard that should not be repeated here. God help them if they ask me to explain what the euphemisms mean because I will explain them to them---

Dude, WTF is wrong with you? Don't ask me stupid questions unless you want a stupid answer.

This tactic is only useful if you never want the person to ever talk to you again, because that is usually what happens.

My best answer to those, "Oh, YOU know...PLACES to go, THINGS to see, PEOPLE to do...yada, yada, yada!"

I find those questions irritating. But if people want to know, well, I was at home, online, I watched some videos on youtube, read a book. As to whether I went somewhere, do websites/fictional worlds/the Romanov court, and stuff like that count?

Usually if I get back straight away and get these three questions yelled at me at once I'll answer...

"I'll tell you later."

And I never do.
