Saying "I don't know" is a lot easier than giving them your sad life story. Plus, people usually expect an easy answer. They don't really want to hear all the details, which sound weak to anyone but yourself anyway. Also, if you try to tell someone you're no good at something, they will never, ever agree with you. Unless they just don't care. (Well, that's not entirely true. If someone really cares, they won't give you the automatic positive response either. But that's another issue.)
I really dislike the whole, "where are you at in life, where are you going?" line of questions. Because I hate to make excuses. I don't hate that people ask, I just wish that I had something better to tell them. When you have to defend a position you don't believe in, it's a losing battle. But I don't want a big amazing career and a beautiful mansion on a hill either.
"So, what
do you want?"
I don't know. =P
