You're not in a space where you're ready to try, and that's ok. When I started, it was very difficult for me to tolerate trying, but in the end, all I ever did was what I was able to do with where I was at, 30 minutes once per week, and it made a huge difference for me. Let me know if you want any tips on how to approach meditation.
Patronizing is your reflex? That tracks. Good luck with that.
I would like to reflect back at you that you've responded to everything I've said with negativity and sarcasm.
I'd like to note that your entire commentary here has been from a place of privilege, blindly or no, and that it is therefore self-serving and out-of-touch in that it makes you feel better for telling yourself it "helps".
Speaking as one who could actually benefit from sincerity and compassionate awareness, your glib tone is bad PR for meditation as a whole. Stop cosplaying a keyboard shrink, and jog on. 🤌🏼
Dude, you know nothing about me, and are bringing your preconceived judgments and inferring tones that don't exist. "You're coming from a place of privilege" by doing something free that you can do anywhere and don't need to own or have anything? Something that underpins the spiritual practice of over a billion people across the world of every socioeconomic status? Fuck that.
I recognize you're not in a place to be ready to try because I've been there, and because you've approached this adversarially from the beginning. Hell yes I'm proud of what I've accomplished, and I absolutely want to share that with people who I think would benefit from it. Then here you show up to shit on me, and have the gall to accuse me of being self serving and out of touch?
Ah, yes, there's the self-righteous defensiveness that attempts to throw a rug over the salient points and bend the argument to an ad hominem fallacy. Textbook. Better meditate on that, citizen. You've got it bad.
Just deflecting over and over, putting up walls and wondering why no one lets you in
