> The main thing is the feeling that you have something better to do that you don't feel like doing, but that doesn't really capture the whole concept.
I do understand what you're saying, Bart. Trust me, I understand. And while this may apply to me to a very small degree, it's nothing that criples my life even in the slightest. Yes, there are times when I feel like I should be doing something, maybe not "better", but "greater" with myself. But moreso, I am VERY able to sit still, in the broadest sense of "sitting still" that there is. I don't feel guilt when I have "nothing" to do. I am not a doer, I am not action-oriented. I feel much more at ease when I'm not doing, even if that "doing" is fidgeting. I don't even feel comfortable writing this post right now, I'd rather be relaxing and not thinking. I haven't been able to do that a lot lately, though.
> OK, but why were you doing that? Do you really know?
Because I'm in the process of deleting and organizing crap from/on my computer that I don't need, because I only have 300 MBs of space left on my hard drive. That lack of space is creating problems and I don't have any CD-Rs at the moment to back stuff up to.
> It's because I believe that on a fundamental level, people have all the same ingredients, although mixed in different proportions. There's such a thing as human nature. And it exists in the form of sensations.
But why are you targeting *me*? Are you really trying to "help" me, or are you just trying to assert your Enlightended Bart Superiorty(EBS)?
> > Why someone would keep returning to such an abusive and negative atmosphere like 9types could mean something, though.
> It does.
I agree.

P.S. I can tell you one thing that bothers me, though. My mom uses vegetables in foods based on what they look like and how "pretty" they will make dishes, not because she wants to cook or eat healthy.
