I am somewhat young, a half spic, introverted, and never quite fit into society. It is due to this that I suspect the possibility of me being a schizoid as well as the fact that I have, in the past, sabotaged my own dates and the only relationship that I ever had due to feeling nothing and wanting to get away and have my solitude again.Some books I have read that brought me comfort and resonated with me were Hunger by Knut Hamsun, The Stranger by Albert Camus, American Psycho (unironically), and any non-fiction autobiography of men traveling the world by themselves and documenting their thoughts and physical journey, just to name a few books.Books such as Whatever by Michel Houellebecq felt over the top and were not to my liking.What books can I read to find comfort with the way I am?

>>25339002I wish it were that easy. Not even McDonald's wants me.
>>25339002That’s not a book.
>>25338999>What books can I read to find comfort with the way I am?You need to read Ecclesiastes, it’s a quick shot of perspective. Even if your life were amazing and better than anyone else’s, it wouldn’t be anything but vanity, emptiness and hollowness anyway, fated to end.
>>25339007From the bible? I don't mind it, but the passages never fully resonated with me or filled me with the warmth that my christian friends always talk about
I know what you mean. After finishing this book life started to make more sense so I'd give it a shot.
>>25339037Ecclesiastes is not that kind of book. Also that anon missed the point. Life is hard, unfair, and most things don't matter in the end so try to be a good person with faith while enjoying the simple things is basically what it boils down to.

>>25339014Sometimes I see new books here and get intrigued, only to look it up and realize it's just some 20 year old low-functioning autist shilling his own shit nobody read.

Apart from all the sex, girlfriends, stable employment, stable family, and high self esteem and mental health, he's totally an outsider loner
>>25338999>and any non-fiction autobiography of men traveling the world by themselves and documenting their thoughts and physical journeyI haven't read it yet but The Atlas by William T. Vollmann might work

>>25338999You should read books about how to fit in as much as possible. Study accounting or finance or business too. Learn to be outwardly normal. Please don't indulge in a misfit identity.

Book of Job goes especially hard when you don't believe in sky wizards. Job used to be the man:"8 the young men saw me and withdrew, and the aged rose up and stood;9 the nobles refrained from talking and laid their hands on their mouths;10 the voices of princes were hushed, and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths."Suddenly, through no fault of his own, he is a nobody. Money, status, social network - all gone. The bulk of the narrative is solid: Job keeps trying to understand what he did wrong, and what he needs to do right - and no one has the answer for him.Ironically it is more hopeful than Ecclesiastes: the sky daddy DID swoop in and reimburse him eventually. Ecclesiastes is just pure existential despair and meaninglessness of life (the Jews didn't believe in Heaven and Hell yet).
Less Than Zero.
>>25340265>Book of Job goes especially hard when you don't believe in sky wizards.I tried to read it a while ago and could make it past 4 or 5th 'chapter'it's literaly the loving god sky wizards torturing some random dude just cause the evil sky wizard baited him into it. And then just cope for pages and pages

>>25339053I work as an inspector in an industrial environment. Life didn't make sense to me till I read this book.Still no idea what Zoomers mean whenever they say by "Peak Sigma", however.

>>25338999Not a spic here and much older but I never fit in much either

You've probably already read pic related, but just in case you haven't I'd say it fits the description of what you're looking for. Crime and Punishment is a must read as well.
>>25339726Read this recently and it made me laugh what a comfortable life he had, and how many women constantly orbited and sought after him. Apparently it’s semi-autobiographical, and the author himself had several suicide pacts with women in his life. It’s just comedic how much sex the protagonist has in relation to how mentally ill he tries to portray himself.My assessment of his situation is that of an extremely (masked) autistic and painfully introspective guy who also happens to be extremely good looking lol. Even as a child he’s getting molested left and right.
>>25342091>Even as a child he’s getting molested left and right.Do you think that this fucked him up for life?
>>25341802>Crime and Punishment is a must read as well.Raskolnikov I do not read as a misfit but as an extremely ill, extremely attractive and seductive naughty obese man. Everywhere he goes is getting treated nicely and respected by his mother, which misfits instead get stinkeyed or shoved away from conversations, like happens rather in Knut Hamsun's Hunger. But instead of returning respect like a thriving gentleman he just loads up on fattening food and hurts others because he's a sadist, it's not until he eats the thin soup with cockroaches he's forced to lose "the fat", but the other balancing factor before he can be purified is feeling love which you can't do without fasting first. He's close to a Nikocado Avocado kind of personality than a misfit. Instead of suffering a tooth ache and ugliness like the Underground Man he suffers chronic hubris but otherwise accepted and loved by his peers which a misfit cannot relate to.
>>25339158Why does this post make people so contentious, especially on 4chan of all places?
Loner Life in Another World. It's about an anti-social guy with severe autism banging super models and being a sex icon for all the women around him. Also he's basically never alone.
>>25341802OP here. I have read Crime and Punishment, and am actually reading Hunger as well >>25342708I kind of relate to walking around aimlessly and feeling no drive or urgency when I am put into difficult situations or need to submit an urgent assignment, and am usually always exhausted. I guess this book will be next up.
>>25342720>contentiousThere is something about an idle young man like myself that just makes others (especially older men and women) seethe, though they aren't able to explain why when asked about it.
>>25342975 And by women I mean almost all women.
>>25342720Because it's true.
>>25342971the second part of Notes from the Underground especially is very relatable and literally me core. I think you might enjoy it.
>>25343314right, there was absolutely no underlying malice in telling OP to die in the semite war
