What are good phrases to say when brain dead and don't want to talk?

[DocumentationTreasury]

Current plan for next time w/ GF:

Me: "brain dead, no brain energy to talk, afraid of argument"

What might be some better things to say?

This often happens when I watch GF do something I think is inefficient/is done inefficiently and I accidentally stare in disbelief or maybe accidentally shake my head slightly. I don't talk much and try not to talk. Then she keeps asking me why I stared until I say, I try to figure out how to say my thought, and then it often starts an arguments, don't know how to escape the argument.

If you want to stop the arguments, you would do better by stopping YOUR behavior that triggers them.
Namely, staring in disbelief.

Agreed uriel. From reading this short bit... it sounds to me like the problem isn't that you don't want to talk.
The problem seems to be that you think your girl-friend is a bit of an idiot.
And you let her know that... nonverbally.

So the question you need to ask yourself is: "are you dating a girl that you think is an idiot?"

• If yes... you may need to rethink the entire relationship.
• If no... and she's just being clumsy in some situations and it's not really a big deal in the big picture... then I would just stop acting annoyed about it because it clearly feels disrespectful to her.

Not acting annoyed will probably be difficult to do if you really do get annoyed.
And THEN you might want to dig into why something trivial annoys you so much.
Enough to basically nonverbally insult her and start a fight.

This has the potential to lead to VERY interesting and deep inner game work.

Are you sinksink?

If he is he went from living in his mom's basement to mooching off some girl he doesn't like.

So I'd say he's moving up in life!
