Here's some advice for the Romans in this forum.

Have we officially made "Roman" synonymous with creepy/desperate turbovirgins on the Internet?

i can dig it

Except I'm not a virgin anymore.

nah, you're a virgin, regardless of whether you had sex or not

You think I was making it up? Her name was Ashley, she was a 25 year old high school French teacher who used me for one night. Actually maybe we both used each other.

It's not about whether you have or you haven't.

You act like one who's desperate for it, and need to to tell us about it when it happens (^Exhibit A).

That's p stupid tbh but w/e.

Who says being on your own is neccessarily a bad thing? You can be productive as fuck by yourself.

Humans need social interaction. I'm not so serene a being that I can just 'keep on' without having tended to some emotions first.

Which it's ironic that I say that because I neglect shit more than I tend to it, lol.

Well, the thing about being productive is that you're not worried about your emotions or feelings because your head's invested on the task at hand, whether it be the job you're doing, or some hobby you entertain yourself with.

Focusing on and doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing and absolutely nothing else is a state of mind, known well to eastern philosophies and religions, called Dhyāna which in turn became the foundation for Zen.

To practice it is probably a literal enactment of serenity, which, as I stated, I am not so serene a being that I can keep on without first tending to emotion to some degree.

Nor is anyone else really, for that matter, if they live like most people do nowadays.

To have that level of focus you have to abandon most worldly desires and live like a monk/hermit, essentially, because stress is far too large of a standard occurrence in normal everyday society.

I think you took what I was trying to say out of context a tad.

When I say productive I don't mean only work. You can be focused on relaxing. Keep your head occupied with what's in front of you at the present moment.

I'm not talking about work.

Doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing doesn't inherently imply 'work.' All it implies is that you have something you intent to do, be it work, play, relaxation, or anything in between.

You can meditate on ANY task, and that is simply what the state of mind I am referring to is, in its purest form.
