I don't think I'm misunderstood; I just worry I'm doing life wrong. All the time.
And no, I haven't tried to do much about it. There...isn't much of a me besides a mess of stupid emotional issues. If there ever used to be, I don't remember it an am probably ashamed of it.
Wow, that sounded bad.

To just be there around people without any prerequisite or purpose. You don't have to meditate. Most people don't. I don't, and I won't.

What do I do then? Just being "around people" - I do that every day. It doesn't make a difference. You mean like being a friend? Most of that's online for me...

By the way, do/did you study philosophy by any chance?

LOL, I'm too dumb for real philosophy. I just used to hang out online with a bunch of people who are naturally deep thinkers, so issues of life, meaning, the future, etc were always on the main forum board. I retired from there, but after two years of obsessive daily logins the attitude stuck with me.
