I am dreading the question when I go back to school and classmates ask what I did over the summer? I just worked, didn't go anywhere, and that's pretty much what I will say to them. I used to play it up like I went places on the weekends with friends, which was totally the opposite. I felt the same way, I didn't want the attention that there was something wrong with me not going out on weekends because I couldn't accept what was wrong, I was in denial and basically lying to myself. Now, I am honest when the question comes up, saying that I just hung around the house, watched a funny Seinfeld episode that I can share and get a laugh out of a coworker whose interested in me. That's the thing, I didn't see that the reason they were asking is that they were interested in me, instead I thought it was about impressing them. Yeah, I will always dread the question because my father never says hi, always says what's going on? So, I've felt pressure to impress early on with that question but I know how to deal with that question and that's with honesty. I correct my father now, after he immediately asks me what my day schedule is, by saying hi and asking how his day was, which always catches him off guard but helps him retract a more better approach.
