I hate being asked that question because people don't know what they are getting I to or asking. They are giving unwanted advice and they are trying to make themselves more comfortable by trying to make you solve your problem so that they don't have to see you sad because ultimately it makes them sad. So in efforts to stop themselves from feeling sad they want you to stop being sad.
I hate this question because people rarely actually care why. They just want you to shape up. When you start to explain it to them and then they get the dreaded feeling of "Oh god why did I ask" then it becomes insulting. Since your problem is not simple to solve you are essentially dismissed. Like, "Woah... Okay, I had enough; sorry I asked, please go away now"
Then there are the fuckers who ask, get the answer, then are upset when you don't cheer up and tell you that you just need to snap out of it and be happier. I hate those people so much because they really have no clue what they are talking about. What is most offensive is that they have the audacity to be annoyed with you in the first place. Like since you look unhappy they are upset that you look unhappy and therefore they are tired of seeing you that way so you must change for their benefit. That's where I draw the line.
So yeah... When people ask, I usually don't tell them anything and I deflect them. I can't explain in five minutes my problems to you.
