You see, where you're going wrong is worrying about what others think. You hunt for you and your pleasure. I wouldn't feel a need to explain or worry about anything they say along these lines. You're getting all bent out of shape over nothing. Just tell 'em NOPE, I haven't seen the one I want and leave it at that. Besides that, you're still hunting, they're doing honey do lists. Why would you get "sick and tired" of what others say and think. It's suppose to be fun.
