How do I avoid ending up like the dreamer when im exactly like him, dwelling in a rich inner world while reality passes me by and never truly able to reconcile the two?

I cant imagine a busy person coming here for any reason. If you want to learn and firm your own opinions(about books) just read books. This is like /b/ but with literature theme.

See thee on the morrow.

A normal person can reconcile reality and dreams.
Autistics can not.
Try being normal
>>
>>25273102
The word autist is so overused by unsocialized fucks

White nights? more like white knights!

>>25273117
What are you going to do about it?

>>25273661
A novel for simps!

Define "normal"

I never looked into this novel but wow he's literally me. I'm gonna read it.

>>25273048
Keep doing the same, but at social gatherings. Talk about what you're thinking when everyone is drunk enough. Just don't overdo it. Sports with men, liberal politics with women.
>>
>>25273730
My thoughts are barely coherent and become even less coherent once they leave my mouth.
>>
>>25273102
>Just be something you're not bro
Great life advice right there
Be yourself and figure out what matters to you then pursue it methodically. Figure out what is in your way and fight against that.
If you want to spend most of your life reading and thinking that's fine but you probably also want money and a wife or something so figure out how to get that
>>
>>25273048
the way you reconcile them is by making art, even if it's just humble stuff for yourself and a few online friends/randos. the process of making art forces you to connect your 'inner world' to the outer world of the wider culture and your daily experience of material reality.

>>25273756
so practice writing coherent prose.

Not the same as talking.

takes bong hit
>i just have like this rich imagination that normies couldn't understand like my mind doesn't work the way theirs does
blows ganja smoke filling the entire room
>i just can't adjust to reality man. i dropped out of college like 5 times because I couldn't turn in assignments
riotous coughing for 40 seconds
>i'm literally the like dreamer

paraphrased conversation i had with my 30yo uncle when I was 16. your goal is to avoid being him
>>
>>25273730
What if I hate sports and am not a liberal? You're really batting a thousand here.
>>
>>25273950
Obviously not same anon, but I can hardly relate to this. All my uncles are/were married. I actually was the black sheep along with my cousin, who is dead because of heroin. Thankfully, I'm not much into illicit substances.
>>
>>25273849
irrelevant. you said your own thoughts are barely coherent, and my point is that it's through the practice of things like writing that you make your vague inner though-world into something concrete that connects to reality.

do you want advice or not? i hope you realise that at some point in some way you'll have to make an effort and it will be uncomfortable.
