I wouldn't let yourself feel bad over these other people. Maybe they want to help or maybe they're simply nosy? It's still none of their business what you're thinking and feeling and if you choose not to disclose how you feel to them, it's your right. Nobody has the right to force you to talk about your feelings and if they do, it isn't your fault.
So no, you're certainly not "evil" or "bad". You're awesome.

Thank you so much for this. It's not the same people all the time, but sometimes it just feels I have nowhere to just "be". Sometimes I want to talk and nobody wants to listen. See, that's usually the problem with those questions too, even if I do answer honest - most people don't want to hear, yet, they don't like feeling lied to either. I'm not a good enough liar to pull that off and I don't want to be. People just need to decide one way or the other if they want to know my answer or not BEFORE they ask the questions. They need to learn to deal with it when I choose not to answer too.
Problem is, I know I can't control what they do or how they react to me. I can only control me and how I react to them, and I'm not sure how to do that anymore. I just know I'm tired of the games.
