Learn how to meditate

I went to a local boedhistic community to learn how to meditate. I’m not really sure if I liked it and if it’s something I really wanna do. In fact, since I did this the first time, I feel quiet uncomfortable with myself. Those people were actually quiet restrained, opposite to what I had expected. Furthermore, they were talking about freaky things I don’t want to hear and the sitting position felt very uncomfortable. Anyway, I think I should not give up immediately and persue on this goal. If I keep feeling bad about this goal, I will not hesitate to give in. If somebody has good advice, please let me know.

A few years ago, I started meditation on my own. Actually, it worked out pretty well, and as a result, I felt more free, I was able to focus better on things (a lot better), and I was more open to (new) people and (new) things. I felt far more energetically, and happy with my life regardless of the past. Anyhow, I stopped it and I was unable to pick it up again. Now, I’m starting meditation in a group, hoping for a more organized setting.
