Hey /lit/,
I was wondering if you had any books for this kind of feel:
I'm always being an annoying eccentric kid (I'm 18), and I never feel in place, I always feel like I don't know anyone and I have a tendency to push people away, I am going back on my adhd meds to feel normal again (even though they give me panic attacks). I've read The Stranger, and I know it's unrelated, just felt that that was a good thing to note.
Pic unrelated.

Sidhartha or En Route

I was going to recommend stuff, but got triggered by reading that you like The Stranger.
Camus was a shit writer.

That really isn't me, but honestly kid, Camus is terrible.
You're 18 so it's ok to be immature
if you like The Stranger at least read No Longer human, imagine Camus with depth.
It will at least set you down a better path.
The only advice I will give you is that if you do go to college please find a professor that is teaching Ulysses.
Ulysses with a professor willing to walk through it with you is probably the most important thing you can do in college. Everything is in that book, any perspective you think is interesting, anything that you think is laughable, historical fact, philosophical trivia, is in that book.
If you truly feel disconnected Ulysses is the only book that matters.

Well it's not the kind of edgy disconnected. It's more I have trouble controlling myself and I get hyper and the hyper is annoying to everyone. I can't stop myself, and I feel torn between that.
I am going to WPI, and I can guarantee you that there is not a professor teaching Ulysses.
I am currently reading No Longer Human, and some of the bits really resonate but some don't. I don't feel disconnected, just different. Just the annoying kid.
