I read the comments on a mindfulness video and think there must be something so wrong with me. Just feel alienated as the odd one out. I genuinely think everyone is psychotic for being so impacted by it - I think it is so dumb in such a triggering way. I just feels worse and get angry listening to it. Feels like such middle class waspy bullshit.

I've studied the topic for decades and I still can't do it. I've concluded that not all minds are created equal in this regard.

The same band-aid that saves the day in one situation will be worse than useless in the event of a major laceration.

The concept of mindfulness is neither new, nor "middle class". Mindfulness is the cornerstone of Buddhism, and it basically means awareness without judgement of whatever is going on right now. A seemingly simple, yet very difficult skill to master.
While I understand that the practice of mindfulness might seem like a modern gimmick for someone who is oblivious of its long history, that is not true.
Mindfulness has been practised for more than 2000 years and it originated in South Asia (nothing "waspy" about that).Last edited:I've tried, and I think it is really helpful to those that can develop those skills. I am not one of those people.
I agree it is a Band-Aid for people whose wounds go deep. It doesn't touch the root of the pain, so the pain will survive most attempts at more surface level mitigations of symptoms derived from that deeper place.
