Most people on this website constantly decry normalfags, see them as inferior and worthy only of contempt. Yet at the same time they're clearly bitter and envious of not being normalfags themselves. Any books that might shed light on this phenomenon?
Phenomenology of Spirit
I've always felt the popularity of the Chad meme indicates a desire for success in the eyes of normies. As if to say "I win at your game without even playing it!"The inverse form exists too, which is when a normie constantly tries to signal a false sense of social unbelonging, commonly epitomized in their claims to a probable (albeit undiagnosed) autism.>im sooo autistic! when i find something im interested in, i research it for a whole hour!
>>24981757>Yet at the same time they're clearly bitter and envious of not being normalfags themselves.No, I'm not. Could you perhaps be projecting your malaise of being a failed normie onto me?

>>24981829I’ve come to hate autists much more than I ever disliked normies.
>>24981841I guarantee you only feel that way because it's been a couple months since you've had to interact with a normalfag. That's what really sucks. You realize that somehow these idiots are much more tolerable than those. So go outside, hikki-kun. I dare you.
The psychological pattern you described (disdain for “normies” masking envy and insecurity) shows up in plenty of great novels, films, and TV series. Below are recommendations where characters embody this kind of elitism and internal conflict — ranging from tragic to satirical to darkly comedic. Novels1. Notes from Underground — Fyodor DostoevskyA classic psychological portrait of someone who despises everyone but is crushed by his own insecurity and envy. The narrator’s contempt for “ordinary” people is a defense mechanism masking his own paralysis and self-loathing.2. The Picture of Dorian Gray — Oscar WildeDorian and his circle exhibit elitism and aesthetic superiority. There’s envy, self-deception, and social contempt intertwined with a longing for effortless beauty and pleasure.3. The Secret History — Donna TarttA group of highly elitist students looks down on “ordinary” people, believing they’re uniquely gifted. The novel explores arrogance, insecurity, group dynamics, and the psychological cost of that belief.4. American Psycho — Bret Easton EllisPatrick Bateman’s disdain for “mundane” people and obsession with status and aesthetics reflects a hollow self-image. His contempt covers deep insecurity and emptiness.5. The Idiot — Fyodor DostoevskyPrinces Myshkin’s interact with an elite social world, exposing the cruelty, insecurity, and envy that underlie so-called sophistication. While Myshkin himself isn’t elitist, the environment highlights the psychology you’re asking about.6. The Goldfinch — Donna TarttOffers characters who reject the “ordinary” life for something more sophisticated and profound, only to reveal vulnerabilities, envy, and yearning beneath their attitudes.7. Brideshead Revisited — Evelyn WaughFeatures aristocratic characters who often look down on “common” life, yet their romanticized elitism veils insecurity and fear of ordinary human connection. Themes to Look ForIf you want to explore this psychological pattern, here are recurring motifs that signal it:Projection — Disparaging others to avoid facing inner flawsEnvy masked as contempt — “They’re lucky, not better.”Impostor syndrome in disguise — Claiming superiority while fearing exposureClass conflict — Elitism rooted in insecurityIdentity anxiety — Constant comparison between self and othersIf you want, I can tailor this list to a specific genre (e.g., sci-fi, dark comedy, literary fiction) or medium (books vs. film).Posted from my iPhone using tapatalk
