The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.
The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.
The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.

Mate: Why'd you call man?! It's just rampant hungry ghostery.

Noun.
1. A relatively small, lightly armed warship normally tasked with ASW (anti-submarine warfare) and POS (protection of shipping, i.e. convoy escort). Frigates are less expensive than destroyers, and are therefore much more common among smaller navies. Frigate hulls are generally large enough to accomodate a full weapons suite, but frigates in large navies such as that of the United States are more lightly armed than the maximum weight available. Modern frigates typically carry at least one helicopter for ASW and SAR (search and rescue).
NATO standard designations are: FF (gun frigate), FFG (guided missile frigate), FFGN (nuclear-powered guided missile frigate, no longer used), and DE (destroyer escort, no longer used).
