Q: why does life cost so much when i don't even have a good time and i can't do the things that's expected of me, like answering questions. Why can't i ever answer "what do i want to do when i grow up"? is there something wrong with me?
A: here's a good strategy for that one: ask them to answer it first. if they are already grown up, they may try to explain what they are doing now. then whatever they say, tell them you think that's pretty cool and you would like to do that. i'm pretty sure this will work and might actually be fun for both you and the other person to talk about
