Most of the time, when a man says 'nothing' to the question of what he is thinking about, he is not telling the literal truth.
Surely, if a person is quiet and looking far, perhaps at the ocean or the sunset or the mountains or hills - there MUST be SOMETHING in his mind - even if it is something as mundane as 'I wonder how high that hill is, compared to the block I'm staying in..'
The truest answer would be 'It's nothing that I think might interest you. It is too weird and/or too complicated and/or too long to put into words. It may even sound absurd to you, and I don't want you to judge me with what I'm thinking about, so let's just not talk about what I was thinking about.'
'Nothing', to that question, is not literal. 'Nothing', is just the abbreviation to a whole lot of reasons to why the thought will not or should not be shared.
