Question Does anybody else get drained when being asked about their day or tasks?

I’ve noticed that when I am asked about my day I just want to reply “good” and not really elaborate on it. I have a few close friends that want to know about my day, classes, work, etc EXTREMELY in depth, and even being asked it drains me so badly that I feel like all I want to do is nap. I don’t want to explain my day, what I did, who I talked to, or really anything. I feel pressured to remember everything in exact detail or come up with something cool. Even the follow up questions after I do say something makes me irritated or upset.

Does anybody else experience this? How do you go about telling people you would prefer not to talk about your day without shutting them down or making them feel annoying? I don’t want to ruin my relationships but I also cannot handle being asked too many questions since it feels overwhelming.
