I'm currently on an active job hunt. It's embarrassing for me to be between jobs but it was a necessary decision. I left under my own terms and without threat of being fired. What's the best thing to tell well-intentioned friends or neighbors who ask about how work is going? I haven't been advertising that I left my old job. Thanks for your suggestions.

If you left under your own terms, why's it a big deal? Do you think people will think less of you because you didn't want your old job? It's like they say: "Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter."
If all else fails, make a joke about it: "I'm considering runnin' off to join the circus." "I'm looking to start a career as a pimp." "I'm launching a company that trades souls on the commodities market."
Hope that helps.

Say " It was going so badly there I decided to make a change-I'm investigating new options now".
