I had been reading articles (like this one) that raves about the benefits of meditation and so I decided to try it for 30 days every day.

I did not see any improvements in any areas. Could I be doing something wrong? I really don't get meditation and I feel like I'm the only person who feels this way.

All the benefits that this article specifically talks about is my default state. I'm never stressed and I don't feel anxiety unless I drink alot.

Is it be possible that meditation simply have no effect for some people?

Try asking someone close to you if they notice a difference. I went through a long stint of daily meditation a few years ago but I eventually lost the habit. A while afterwards my wife randomly said, "I wish you still meditated. You were nicer when you did." I was taken aback.
