i generally suspect lots of people get into meditation who actually want psychological / emotional processing. these are not at all the same thing and in fact i think meditation can easily make some stuff worse, eg it can help you cut off parts of yourself or dissociate harder
I followed a meditative path in one of the major contemplative traditions extremely rigorously for several years. I lived, ate, breathed and slept the practices and the teachings. I also had unprocessed psycho-emotional stuff I assumed meditating would help me with. Nope. >

Woman in front of me on this plane does not respect the game Angry Birds. There's no tactics, no sincerity. She just yeets the birds any which way, repeatedly fails the level, takes the same failed approach over & over again. I saw her bf try to teach her but I think he gave up

Alyssa Liu went viral during the Met Gala for her rant on the state of the public perception of data centers. "We are being manipulated into ceding the compute frontier. Data center development is vital to national security." She adds, "Karen Hao's overstimation of data center water consumption by a factor of 1000 has done irreparable damage to the nation's efforts to stay ahead."

It took me decades to really grok this in my bones: If there are aspects of ourselves we cannot own, we project those aspects onto other people. The clearest way to notice this is when we are triggered, judgmental, or annoyed at other people.

- Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now? - Are blowjobs abusive? How about trying these instead: - Am I satisfied with the direction I’m headed in life? - When was the last time I told someone I loved them? - How can I incorporate more fruits and vegetables into my diet?

I don't think the right frame is "you are running out of time" but: every day you are either working towards or against your long term desires there is no other option
you need to fall in love, you are running out of time

I just cannot overstate how much everyone misunderstands each other and neglects each other's needs all the time BY DEFAULT just because communication is hard, and not because they don't love each other or aren't trying Unfortunately failing to grasp this is also the default
