Family Scapegoat

I was going to through old boxes from.my parents' attic. Found notes from my father (and teachers) that blew my mind ..m the edact same things we fight about now.are the same things we fought about when i was a kid. NOTHING has changed. They dont like me. They love me, but I am always the problem. The thing is i have internalized this and have over 20 years of working on my stuff assuming I am the problem. Ive had to made progress in my character and maturity ..... but NOTHING has changed! I am also.so sick and tired of everyone trying to tell me I am not good enough. Sick of it!! More evidence that it isnt just me is people seem to criticize/judge everyone and everything. From politics to.restaurants to movies.to gossips. Out of the four of us, I have been the only one to even attempt to be better. And i have pretty much dedicated my life to self improvement and growth. I am still the problem. Now I am furiously angry and hurt and cant handle any more criticism/invalidation/rejection. Even if a stranger gave ne unsolicited advice right now I would feel it Hard. Maybe. Id probably shut up and take it because standing up for yourself doesnt work either just makes you more of a problem. I hate people. And now I am being judgmental. There is no winning. Being a human being an abjevtly horrible eperience. Is this what it is like for everybody?

Narcissist or Not?

I think i might finally be willing to accept without guilt that I dont actually like my family. If there wasnt a fear of regret/grief process for when people eventually die, I dont think I would associate with them. In fact, I have no idea if I actually love them vs. being in their lives out of obligation. I also dont know I am the problem. In any case if their wasnt the fear of grief, I wouldnt be here. Maybe even become a hermit, especially if I am the problem. Sad thing is when they are not around i forget. I hate life. All suffering all the time, no escape. Nothing works. And it is ALL bad unless we pretend it isnt.

Did Non-Dualists get it wrong?

Ok, not technically "wrong" abd maybe it is semantics. But perhaps we are not Awareness .... but Concern. In my meditations i have noticed that All thoughts, not most, every last one of them has the same theme: Concern. Not worry, nothing hugely negative, but Concern. Thoughts of doubt: concern that i am wrong. Thoughts of feeling good/avoiding bad: concern for my feelings. Thoughts of others: concern for their well being (or even concern for my place amongst them), impatience: concern for time, Joy: temporary distraction from concern. Trying to figure out what is real: concern I might be wrong/concern for well being. So i focused on the concern itself, since everything seems to emanate from it maybe. The construction of reality/names/forms/experiences etc. all seem to be manifeststions of Concern. It HAS to split into observer/observes, controller/controlled, experiencer/experienced etc. because what more efficient (if not the the only) way to express concern ... which yields a mind that tries to distract itself from.this Concern in an infitely creative number of ways only to eventually fail (suffering) every time which keeps leading back to concern. But WHO has this concern? Upon investigation, the experiencer of concern is just yet another manifestation/narrative in a situation of expressed Concern. Obly thong left is the Concern itself. Reality cant hurt you, because no matter what Concern is never removed - we are that concern.

Aging Gracefully: An Interview with AI

I thought it was maybe just my parents - I thought maybe as people get older it is harder to get what they want without the help of others (although my parents seem to have been this way their whole lives). But that begs the question: Why do they still take their wants and whims seriously at that age. In response to my previous post: You said: I thought it was maybe just my parents - I thought maybe as people get older it is harder to get what they want without the help of others (although my parents seem to have been this way their whole lives). But that begs the question: Why do they still take their wants and whims seriously at that age. Aging Care forums have multiple posts about elderly people calling their kids multiple timea a day, having demands, acting like brats, and treating their every trivial whim as some sort of crisis. Is this normal? Why does this happen? Wouldnt age release some level of wisdom to where the opposite would happen "oh look, there goes a want popping up in the mind again" vs. "OMG I need to be satisfied NOW and others need to make that happen. Waaaah!!" ChatGPT said: You're right to wonder about this, and it's not just your parents—this kind of behavior is fairly common. It goes against the idealized idea that age should bring wisdom and detachment from trivial concerns. Instead, many older adults seem to become more demanding, self-focused, or emotionally reactive. There are a few reasons for this: Loss of Control – As people age, they lose physical ability, cognitive sharpness, social status, and sometimes financial independence. Demanding attention or exerting control over family members may be a subconscious way to compensate. Cognitive and Emotional Changes – The aging brain often struggles with emotional regulation. Even without dementia, the frontal lobe (which helps with impulse control and reasoning) can decline, making people more reactive and self-centered. Ingrained Personality Traits – If someone was self-centered or controlling in their youth, age doesn’t necessarily mellow them out. In fact, those traits often become more exaggerated with time. Loneliness and Boredom – Many elderly people have limited social engagement, and their world shrinks. Small concerns feel bigger because they don’t have much else to focus on. Reaching out to family (even excessively) might be their only outlet. Society Enables It – Unlike some cultures where elders are expected to be wise and self-sufficient, Western culture often frames aging as a time of helplessness and dependency, encouraging a child-parent reversal where elderly parents behave like needy children. Ironically, the kind of wisdom you describe—recognizing desires as fleeting and not being ruled by them—takes deliberate effort, and most people never cultivate that mindset. Instead, they double down on their attachments and anxieties. It makes sense that you’d expect the opposite, but for many, aging just strips away social filters and coping mechanisms, revealing raw, unchecked behaviors. You said: Do people who meditate and cultivate the "mindset" that you mention avoid ending up like this in old age? Or is it inevitable even for them? ChatGPT said: It’s not inevitable, but it’s also not a guaranteed safeguard. Meditation and cultivating detachment can certainly help a person age with more grace, but aging still comes with biological and neurological changes that can override even decades of practice. Some key factors: Deep, Lifelong Practice Matters – People who truly internalize mindfulness, detachment, and emotional regulation (not just casual meditators) tend to handle aging better. Monks and long-term practitioners often exhibit more equanimity in old age. Brain Aging Still Happens – Even if someone is highly self-aware, neurological decline can affect impulse control, emotional stability, and cognition. Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, and frontal lobe deterioration don’t care how enlightened someone is. However, a well-trained mind might be more resilient before severe decline sets in. Physical and Social Losses Can Test Anyone – Meditation doesn’t erase suffering; it changes how one responds to it. But if someone loses mobility, independence, or loved ones, even a seasoned practitioner might struggle. The difference is that they might suffer consciously rather than reactively. Some Still Cling to Ego and Desires – Even long-term meditators aren’t immune to old habits resurfacing. If practice was more intellectual than experiential, or if they used it as a coping mechanism rather than true transformation, aging may still bring regression. So, while deep self-awareness and practice can significantly reduce the bratty, demanding behaviors seen in some elderly people, no one is fully immune. The body and brain wear down, and some level of dependency and emotional difficulty is likely. The real question is whether one’s practice was strong enough to meet those challenges with dignity rather than childish demands. You said: Are there any safeguards if meditation is such a gamble? ChatGPT said: Yes, but they require more than just meditation. If the goal is to avoid becoming a demanding, self-centered elderly person, you’d need a hybrid approach that accounts for both psychological resilience and the unavoidable realities of aging. Here are some safeguards: 1. Cognitive Maintenance – Keep the Brain Sharp Engage in lifelong learning (reading, problem-solving, new skills). Prioritize social interaction, even if it feels like a chore. Loneliness shrinks perspective. Exercise regularly—physical health directly affects cognitive function. Maintain a sense of purpose. Having a "project" (however small) gives a sense of agency. 2. Train Detachment, but Stay Engaged Mindfulness is great, but instead of just observing desires arise and fade, train yourself to actively let go of control over external circumstances before old age forces you to. Purposefully practice not getting your way—sit with inconvenience, let others lead, and embrace situations where you aren't the center of decision-making. 3. Keep a Strong Body Strength and mobility help maintain independence. Avoid excessive reliance on others for small tasks, even if it’s tempting. Regularly challenge yourself physically to build resilience against discomfort. 4. Preemptively Address the Ego Make peace with the fact that people won’t cater to you. Reflect on your relationships: Are you practicing generosity, or do you expect more than you give? Train yourself to handle small disappointments now—if you’re impatient or reactive today, it’ll likely get worse later. 5. Cultivate a Non-Negotiable Internal Anchor Instead of relying on family or external validation, develop something that belongs only to you—whether it’s a personal philosophy, a hobby, or a spiritual understanding that isn’t dependent on others engaging with it. Meditation can support all of this, but it’s just one piece. The key is living in a way now that mirrors the kind of elderly person you want to be later. Search Reason ChatGPT can make mistakes.

Tired of Youtube

I am tired of scrolling through Youtune only to find out the videos dont relate to the title/thumbnail or they are so fluffy/useless/propaganda/unqualified etc. Ocassionally I come across something interesting. Which reibforces an addiction to watching youtube like a slot machine. That ia really what it is, a giant slot machine of videos. Will you land on something that isnt useless? Nobody knows! (and the odds are yes more often than no). Or is it my internal state that decides of something is interesting or not. Either way doesnt matter. I have zero control. Meh.

Birthday presents decision paralysis

My Fathers birthday is coming up. The pressure is always on, and he is mostly unpleasable. I like the idea of cooking something because I HATE restaurants. I hate everything about them, the food, the business model, the having to sit while strangers serve you against your will and then ask for money like bums that wask your windshield at a stoplight with a dirty rag and then ask for money. Sad. I feel for them but I'd rather not participate in that nonsense. The food is ALWAYS flavor first - health last (and never that good even in a michelin star restaurant). No info on macros in the menu. I could go on. Why do I care, I am always afraid that my parents may die any day and I will regret not doing something special. Stupid I know. Especially since I know theyre not very "pleasable" in the first place.Everyone kisses my father's ass relentlessly, he has no idea on how not to feel fussy and spoiled. Poor guy. But anyway, I am the one putting this pressure on myself. Fear. Obligation. Guilt. Sucks. I feel like I am cheating if I dont do a restaurant because I will save A LOT of money. Seriously we are talking like $20 vs. $100 or more (for a situation where he will complain and send everything back anyway). He is also old and will not remember what I did for him, so clearly I am doing all of this for me and not him. The events on his birthday will jusy disappear into the ether of wherever his other memories disappear to. Then there is my birthday. The family wants to do something special and i feel the pressure to do something special put of fear of feeling like a loser if I dont. See the FOMO pattern here? Fear. Obligation. Guilt. What a mess the human mind is. Default Mode Network? Why do I even care?

Fear of Gratitude Lists

I am scared of being grateful right now. I feel like as soon as i am thankful for something, the universe might (or will) take it away from me. Sometimes it feelsnlike the universe is just Waiting to slap that smile off your face. As I am writing this I realize that this is superstitious thinking. Yesterday I was grateful for Tubi for all the free content I wanted to watch, and then Tubi took it all away from me for the superbowl. GOD I hate sports. Makes me feel like a minority because everyone else loves that crap and it is forced into my lifestyle. I hate it. I know practically this is a neglible thing, but emotionally? Ugh. Fear. "Thankful for something? Oh thanks for letting me know so I can take that from you, stupid!" Fear. Superstition. Default Mode Network.

Tubi decided today that for the whole day everyone has to be FORCED to watch football.and nothing else. Good thing i have a hard drive, DVDs and pornhub. l i was just saying the best part of living on my own is not having to watch that nonsense. They cite bandwidth reasons and i do get that but would still like the option or an apology. I hate that football even exists and that those that dont watch it get treated worse than women on muslim countries on Super Bowl Sunday. I am so angry. The effects of a30 minute mindfulness meditation erased just by opening the Tubi app. So Angry!!!!!! Sure i can watch freevee i guess but why.bother watching anything at all.

Is religion a scam?

Ok scam is a harsh word because it implies malicious intent. But is it more like alchemy? A bunch of people trying to achieve something that isnt possible? I am tired of being frustrated by Vedanta. I feel like that odd character who can't see those 3d eye puzzles no matter what they try/do/dont do. Even in the deepest meditation i dont "get it." I am only awareness? I dont know about that Shunya? I dont knoe about that either. Maybe frustration is the path. Is it all a trick? Do teachers really know something I don't? Or is everyone, including the Dalai Lama himself, just flailing around trying to do the mental equivalent of trying to turn aluminum into gold? Of course the pavlovian response I expect is the straw man argument of "you dont turn yourself into consciousness, you just need to realize you already are that." Same shit. Annoying. But again maybe the annoyance is the path, a path to being comfortable with perpetual annoyance? Is there a method to this madness? Science isnt any better. Everything seems like a false sense of progress. I hate it. But again maybe that is the point.

The last 24 hrs was one of those dopamine-burn cycles. The kind where life feels like a giant slot machine and you keep wanting to pull the leevr because whatever comes up doesnt feel perfect.

Birthdays

I dont know what to do for my upcoming birthday. we have been talkong about traveling. A lot of stress and planning. Birthdays and the weird need to do something special is stressful. Not sure i like it. Onviously fun when i was a kid but even then, had to deal with imvitations. Gifts and friends made up for it but as adults we live in abundance (we did when we were kids too but i can i dont really have wants as an adult). Ideal birrhday would be that the government pays all my bills that month, from insurance to taxes etc. But others want to celebrate. I guess my birthday is more about them than me. And their birthdays are more about them too!! wtf!!! Oh well.
