[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you presume you were being negatively judged? A significant majority of people travel on their longer vacations. So when people asked where you are going (out of politeness or habit- they don't really care) and then you gave a non standard answer, it sounds like they just verbally processed the unexpected answer. You didn't say that he said anything hostile like "that's stupid" or "what, are you too cheap?".

I'm thinking you're the one with the issue with your non travel. Its exhausting looking for offense in every interaction.[/quote]

Eh, tone can convey a lot.  I don't think OP is overreacting.[/quote]

NP here, OP cited one example and posted what seems like a fairly neutral reply - "You are not going anywhere?  Then OP extrapolated to this mysterious ""they" and "everyone" who are judging.  Seemed like an overreaction to me.

But even assuming shitty tone, who cares?  Not everyone is going to think all of our choices are awesome.  Just part of life.[/quote]
