Well I usually do nothing, and will say nothing much. People get the impression that I therefore have spent the time happy relaxing rather than locking myself away from the outside world.

But more often still, I just don't speak to anyone who is likely to ask.

Good answer. That's what I say, too. Relaxing and doing nothing is the best thing there is. :)

:D Say the most shocking and outrageous thing that pops into your head. Then smile, just a little, and walk away.

you think you did nothing worth mentioning.
here's the deal:
NTs talk about things not worth mentioning ALL THE TIME. ew.
It seems to me they just talk to hear the sound of their voice, they are the ones who have no life.

But that's the beauty of life! Life is more or less made up of things not necessarily worth mentioning. But we talk about them anyway, you see, because it's just life. Normal, everyday, boring, beautiful life. And if we all should only talk about things worth mentioning, not the little trifles and tiny (non-)happenings, it would be eerily quiet between us humans, and we would learn very little about each other and each others' lives. :)

I just say "Not much." Who cares if they think I have a boring life?

I say that myself :) or I'll say, watch TV, went shopping & got on computer. That's about all I do & I tell em that I don't do much. I'll occasionally use that as an opportunity to suggest doing something with em

They usually stop asking quite quickly after that.

"The same thing I do every weekend, Pinky; Try to take over the world!"
"My name's not Pinky"
"Silence, knave!"

It goes on into an interpretive dance routine and ends with 100 doves flying out of my top hat.
