So what do you think of pocket holster carry in a front pocket? When I sit in a chair or booth, like in a restaurant, it brings my pocket and thigh up parallel to the floor. And the gun points at any one who happens to be across from me. Very easy to carry, but makes me really nervous.

Only with a correctly-fitting pocket holster that protects the trigger and retains the firearm. Otherwise, welcome to the world of gangstas and morons.

Mind if I ask what firearm it is? Make model caliber? What holster if any?

A proper pocket holster covers the gun's trigger and trigger guard completely. You should not have anything else besides the gun and holster in the pocket. Guns don't discharge when they are properly holstered or cased - they discharge when they are being handled.

This. Use a proper holster, take reasonable precautions, and for the love of god, don't FF the thing. That's how accidents happen.
