Books for a 28 year old loser who's never had a girlfriend. Never kissed a girl. Doesn't fit in. And wishes he was dead everyday?(I've already read The Book of Disquiet)

>>25346040Do you mean books about people in your situation? I don't know why you'd want to read about what you're already living and I can't think of any that come close to fitting the modern loser. My life is the same way and the character I related to most was Quasimodo from the Hunchback of Notre-Dame, especially because I'm ugly and haven't left my house in 5 years.
>>25346040It doesn't really get better once you've had sex and have a girlfriend, not truly. It's great and all and at first it does wonders for your confidence, sex with someone you love (who loves you) feels incredible, sex with a random girl feels fine (was a virgin until 21, now 26, body count of 3, engaged to fiance, girlfriend of 4 years, she was an 18 year old virgin), but life is still a never-ending battle uphill, to stay motivated, to function, to try to thrive. We are getting married next year and we are planning to have children. I know it is what I want from life objectively, but in many ways I don't even know what I want. Perhaps to lie in a bed and be given IV morphine every 6 hours while reading and playing video games; being periodically ridden by a harem, and then also by my fiance who I then cuddle with and retain the emotional connection of being loved without any effort or responsibility on my part. But no, I have to work, I have to write, I have to lift, I have to practice guitar, do my language study. I have to do things that gain money, improve my mind and body and give my life purpose and meaning, but the desire to do the complete opposite always hangs over me, and sometimes I just feel like lying down forever. I don't want to be dead, I enjoy too many aspects of life as I am sure (you) do, and death is too final. Being a millionaire would be a great start. Any anons that are in relationships or married/with kids that have any advice, or feel similarly?
>>25346198>I have to write>do my language studyHow? Reading a book instead of posting on 4chan already requires immense fortitude. I tried to learn Latin and did nothing else for 6 months, making great progress, until, one day, I simply didn't feel like it. I've been "writing" for 3 years with only 1 or 2 decent poems to show for it. My real goal was to write a novel, but I can't make it past page 20 without starting over and everytime I read it I feel like killing myself. I haven't tried since February and think I'm done with writing and possibly literature. Diogenes makes more sense every day. Why not be a bum? I am already, so why not drop the pretension?

>>25346040"I have always observed that young men, corrupted in early youth and addicted to women and debauchery, are inhuman and cruel; their passionate temperament makes them impatient, vindictive, and angry; their imagination fixed on one object only, refuses all others; mercy and pity are alike unknown to them; they would have sacrificed father, mother, the whole world, to the least of their pleasures. A young man, on the other hand, brought up in happy innocence, is drawn by the first stirrings of nature to the tender and affectionate passions; his warm heart is touched by the sufferings of his fellow-creatures; he trembles with delight when he meets his comrade, his arms can embrace tenderly, his eyes can shed tears of pity; he learns to be sorry for offending others through his shame at causing annoyance. If the eager warmth of his blood makes him quick, hasty, and passionate, a moment later you see all his natural kindness of heart in the eagerness of his repentance; he weeps, he groans over the wound he has given; he would atone for the blood he has shed with his own; his anger dies away, his pride abases itself before the consciousness of his wrong-doing. Is he the injured party, in the height of his fury an excuse, a word, disarms him; he forgives the wrongs of others as whole-heartedly as he repairs his own. Adolescence is not the age of hatred or vengeance; it is the age of pity, mercy, and generosity. Yes, I maintain, and I am not afraid of the testimony of experience, a youth of good birth, one who has preserved his innocence up to the age of twenty, is at that age the best, the most generous, the most loving, and the most lovable of men. You never heard such a thing; I can well believe that philosophers such as you, brought up among the corruption of the public schools, are unaware of it."Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile or On Education
>>25346198>Any anons that are in relationships or married/with kids that have any advice, or feel similarly?Try taking vitamin D supplements. It (along with L theanine but I suspect it's 95% the vitamin D) completely changed my life. I take 4-5000 iu a day. It might not help but deficiency is a common problem that I don't see talked about very much.
>>25346198Why the fuck are you getting married and having kids?
>>25346258I am only around 4 months in to learning ancient Greek but I just do around 2 hours a day of my book and readings unaided until I get stuck and then refer to lexicon. I learned Norwegian to around a B2 level with Pimsleur + Duolingo + books back in Covid but that was an incredibly easy language for a native English speaker.>>25346343Thanks anon I will try them out. >>25346347What do you mean why? It is the only thing that we as humans are really here to do. Are not planning to have children?

>>25346040No Longer Human is about the most lonely, isolated and outcast person in history, apart from all the women in his life, regular girlfriends, friends, stable economy and jobs, and he lives in a safe ethnically homogenous country but apart from that he's totally isolated
