Been feeling alienated from everyone. Family, friends, housemates.

What are some good books on the philosophy of alienation and existential alienation?

I've read The Plague and I don't think I would enjoy philosophy as soft as Camus'. I think I'd like something more challenging, but not Hegel challenging.

Also open to novels about alienation.

And yeah, I know. Check the wiki. I'm making a thread because I'd like some less cold than browsing through a wiki. Some dialogue is nice every once in a while.

Not entirely what you described but Kafka certainly comes to mind.

I wonder what could come from indulging in, and glamorizing, behavior that has lead you to be alienated.
Hmm

>>8789127
Exploration and understanding =/= glamorization

>>8789141
But you will probably end up glamorizing it anyway.

I just have a lot of feelings...
>>
>>8789350
So the sedatives are kicking in and I'm just going to get into my feels right now because I'm repressed.

I have a lot of feelings as well. Too much. It becomes overwhelming. I look at rekt threads and laugh. I make fun of people for being poor or ugly or what have you. I engage in self destructive habits. I do it all because if I didn't distract myself I would spend all of my time crying. It gets so hard sometimes. I wouldn't say I'm compassionate, but I'm very cognitively empathetic. The ability to exist outside of myself within the perspective of others causes me to isolate myself to quiet the constant, involuntary psychoanalysis of everything.

Go see a therapist. Book one for next week if you can. I am being serious. Don't put it off. If you're looking at rekt threads and laughing then you seriously need to talk to someone right away.

>>8789029
Camus isn't soft philosophy you faggot, read The Rebel.
>>
>>8789380
It is hard to really suggest anything that could tangibly be helpful here, but it may be nice to know that what you're going through can be sympathized with. I would also suggest seeking a professional if it really is so painful, like >>8789447 suggests.

Seeking help isn't giving in and it is nothing to be ashamed of.

It's soft in the sense that it explores alienation in the context of a novella/novel
