I really appreciate all the input on this. I think I now know why I do this. And yes, I know the ultimate answer is 42.
The only people that ask me those questions are relatives and cashiers so I suspect they don't care to know the answer most of the time and are simply acting friendly. Sometimes I don’t feel like talking to people and just want to get through it so I can go back to feeling safe and comfortable alone. I like what you said though about how maybe someone has the key that might make a huge difference. Optimism is good. Hope is good.
