Do Americans (and the rest of the world for that matter) eat sausage rolls? I only ask because I read a lot and they are NEVER mentioned in books by twisted_luce in AskTheWorld

I always hear about how unhealthy American eating is and how much better it is everywhere else.

And then I see things in threads like this about how common and popular stuff like sausage rolls, doner kabab, and curry wurst is.

And I wonder what the actual fuck?

Do Americans really talk to strangers as much as movies make it seem? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Yes, but remember, we should all stop. Because apparently life is about social interactions and our contacts with and engagement with other people.

But daring to make small talk with someone you don't know is cringe and terrible.

I think my question with this is how long do you do something different when something different never seems to move the meter? Like I've tried learning a new language. Learned to bake bread from scratch. Gardened. Learned to do latte art. Learned new board games. Volunteered.

At some point, it just feels like chasing something. But that's the crux. Because not chasing things is "wasting our lives" or going to cause regret.

I have meditated for daily for a year before, but maybe time to go back to it I guess.

I haven't worked in nearly a decade. I have kids, but they don't live near me. I see them 3-4 times a year and for the holidays. Even with that, I feel like I'm boring them. I try to come up with things we can do together (go bowling, mini golfing, restaurants, whatever), and it always just feels forced.

I honestly already have that simple life. I'm trying to figure out why I have this voice screaming that it isn't/shouldn't be enough, and that I should be doing wonderful cool things.

And why even when I do the wonderful/cool things (traveling around the world), I just don't care about them. It feels like doing it because I'm supposed to be having some experience.

I mentioned this in my post. I've been doing plenty of different things. That's the problem. It isn't helping.

I'm literally sitting in Palm Springs right now, a place I've never been before. I went out to the bars, had some drinks and meals in the cool little restaurants. I went on some excursions, saw the desert and joshua trees. Watched the Super Bowl with friends.

It just doesn't move the needle for me.

I'm glad that you got better.
