    For me, it’s more like:

    My social battery has been dead for a while and I can’t moderate my behavior enough to get new people to put up with my bullshit.

        That’s why I hate the insertion of “mindfulness” into every type of self-help.

        Motherfucker, did it ever occur to you that my hyper-awareness of shit is part of the cause of my problems?

          Sometimes mindfulness is more of a soft awareness. Not really thinking or knowing about anything in particular.

          I also don’t like how it’s used, because I have the same problem as you describe. It reminds me of trying to maintain a stoic perspective, being non-intellectually aware of sensations in your body, and trying to focus on what you can control.
