When you tell someone whats going on they say your being negative or not taking responsibility or not trying hard enough when alls your trying to do is say whats going on?

Many people are shallow. They don't want details; they don't really want to know what's going on in your life. They just want to know if you're doing anything interesting. A person who cares will ask how you're doing, not what you're doing.

Most people ask because it is a social nicety.
We as Aspies do usually expect a response longer than 2 words when we ask how people are.

Yeah, that's happened before. They take it like you're just pissing and moaning, when really you're not overwhelmed by your problems, just talking about them.
