Anyone else have trouble living in the present?

Meh, I'm happy with the present.
 
I would say that I live my life overly in the present. If that makes any sense.

Anybody else like this?

"No. Beast."
 
I'm like this. In fact, I think most of the major problems I end up having stem from this. Sometimes I even dwell on the past too much. I might have to get heavy into some Zen practices because one of the major focuses of Zen Buddhism is how people should live in the present, "Every Minute Value" they call it.
 
In recent times I've lived in the past so much that I ignore old friends and don't give the future a thought... There was little planning for security or a next career move. Luckily I overcame that and have a pretty good balance.
 
Somewhat, so.

I have a very hard time just existing.
I feel very disconnected from life in general.

Sometimes I feel like I'm just sitting in the back watching my self do stupid things. Nothing feels real to me anymore.
 
I used to live in the past.... now I live in the future. :huh:
I guess I'm temporally challenged. :huh:

Naw, I'm just a nuerotic bastard.

I'm just crazy, like right now I just had like 18 cups of coffee in the span of an hour and a half.

I think I'm bi-polar. Because I go through these extremely depressed periods, and then extremely, insane crazed states, like right now I feel as though another crazy state is washing over me. I mean I should probably see a doctor, but they scare me.

Tee-hee.

:huh:
 
I feel i don't know what but its not a good feeling. everyones movving on with there life and i'm still trying to live in the past off memorys.
 
When it comes to goals and my future, I'm as lost as anyone can be.

I thought you ment that you wished you lived in another time period.Personally i prefer a more rugged life,without the hasses of this so called "modern" style of living.I would say a life prior to 1940 would be good.

I've felt like that from time to time.
 
The only thing I anticipate from the future are cool movies (300, TMNT, Grindhouse). Every once and a while I will be haunted by memories from the past. But mostly I live for today.
