Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 73070123 United Kingdom 03/14/2019 08:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | probably the best name there's going to be for it but I think there's a subtle nuance that's a bit different it's just hard to put it into words. I guess it's more like a general malaise or discontent with whatever you have, compounded by all kinds of emotional or psychotic features I'm sure |

Vasily User ID: 72304389 United States 03/14/2019 08:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | op, I've always had a kind of sense that I shouldn't be "here" (where ever I am) and that where ever I am is only temporary. That is, I am only passing through, so there is no sense in me putting down roots. This typically includes kind of imagining or dreaming of being somewhere else that I am going to someday, a place that is not necessarily defined. Is that similar to your experience? |

Quoting: Vasily This typically includes kind of imagining or dreaming of being somewhere else that I am going to someday, a place that is not necessarily defined. Is that similar to your experience? That's an interesting feel I get from trying to picture that from your perspective. It's not quite the same feeling I have, but thanks for sharing since this solidifies in my mind that there are many facets to whatever condition this is. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 39440397 United States 03/14/2019 10:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The hallmark of the “grass is greener syndrome” is the idea that there is always something better that we are missing. So rather than experiencing stability, security, and satisfaction in the present environment, the feeling is there is more and better elsewhere, and anything less than ideal won’t do. Whether it’s with relationships, careers, or where you live, there is always one foot out the door." [link to blogs.psychcentral.com (secure)] |
