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?

    Then stop lying about it :

    “Hey, how you doin’?”

    " Everything’s bad, as usual, thanks"

    Or

    “Just as bad as yesterday, thanks, what about you?”

    Or

    “… next question?”

    If it’s a client and can’t afford to be awkward, just say say

    “Just another day”

    And if people ask for more details but you don’t want to talk about it, just say :

    “Just having a bad day”

    Or

    “Nothing good happened yet”

    Or

    “Nothing out of the ordinary”

    Or just make up your honest but polite answers
