I've had a time when I was younger - 21 or so- when I left work at lunch and went to the mall (just down the street from the factory) and just ate my lunch in the middle of the mall and revelled in the idea that nobody knew where I was! This was before cell phones and I didn't have a pager. Anyway, I don't know if that exactly relates to what you're talking about but it made me think of it.

Thanks for sharing that, Moose! What you write about is an interesting take on this general idea, but not quite exactly where my mind was taking it. In any case, both of our thoughts were the same in desiring a figurative (or possibly literal) "spot" that we feel most well in. Not feeling that safety, satisfaction, or content, anywhere, is the main frustration.
