Today, Shut Up!
Truly, no one cares. No one. Let me say it one more time, just in case you did not get that.
SHUT UP!
People are not really interested in what the hell you are going through, feeling, managing, etc etc. They want to know what is in it for them?
Talk about them, or if you want to talk about yourself, talk about things that pique their interest, their aspirations, their desires. Making them feel that they have to listen to you just because they happened to be there or ask you how you are doing, is just plain stupid.
No one cares.
Oh, don't act as if you do. You don't either. Just yesterday, you were dying to tell someone 'SHUT Up!' So today, do it before someone tells you to!
