Every day, all day, I have to lie to clients at work and tell them I’m good. I’m far from good and lying about it constantly is killing me.
I’m incredibly lonely and almost everything I usually enjoy feels like a goddamn chore.
Anyone else here feel like that? If so, how do y’all cope?
If you do that, people will ask more questions and you will have to tell them why you feel that way. Unless you want to tell complete strangers (or job clients) how you feel, I’m not sure about this strategy. :)
Not always. 90% of the time it’s a greeting not a question asking specifics. Plus you can always close down followup questions with a statement like ‘But that is not why we are here.’ and carry on with the job at hand.
