What style of meditation are you doing?
It's been a bit since I've been regular about it, but historically, "a little bit of everything."
Most regularly metta, self-inquiry, "do nothing"/zazen, vipassana noting (particularly Shinzen Young's brand), anapanasati (I got into Culadasa for about 5 minutes before the revelations came out, not that I stopped doing anapanasati when that happened or anything, but yeah), and white skeleton. A tiny bit of kasina and jhana practice. I've probably been most influenced by a mix of Shinzen Young, Daniel Ingram, Joseph Goldstein, and the Kuan Um school of Korean Zen.
That's cool you have gotten to experience a various of meditations :)
I gotta raise my eyebrow at #2.
🤷 It did for me.
There's no reason to think that they are pretending.
Clearly you've brought expectations with you.
