Just tell them you engage in black magic and witchcraft. You could make some voodoo dolls to sell to them.😁

Say you have a job, but it is top secret and if you give too many details, then you will have to kill the person you are speaking to 😅

I get it though. I am unable to work, and someone asking me what I do for a living brings me out in a cold sweat. My mind translates it as "how do you get your money?", and if you say you can't work then you are saying "I am getting it from your tax money". Then you get the whole "why/have you tried xyz" crap.
