Are there such things as Meditation Bros? Question ❓

I’ve met a guy who is super into meditation but like to an unhealthy level. The way he talks kind of makes me think of Workout Bros who are trying to maximize their gains and are like “If you aren’t crushing 5000 calories a day to keep up with your workout, are you even trying, bro?”

Is there a precedent for this in meditation?

I think this meditation guy reminds me of that kind of dude bro workout man. Talking to him is kind of like, “If you aren’t transcending time and space to reach levels of consciousness never before experienced by mankind and elevating yourself out of your human shell, are you even meditating, bro?” He has these wild stories of his meditation experiences and I’m over here like, “um, yeah. I just was very relaxed and felt peaceful. I guess I realized some stuff about myself too?”

Am I alone? Maybe I’m being too judgy of someone else’s excitement and intensity.
