I'm looking for literature, a story I can identify with

dostoevsky
kafka
proust

basically...all of the great /lit/ you've been told about

It's some guys fb profile pic I came across. Something about his pose, his clothes and the contrast with everything around him is just fantastic

Shoop?

Stop watching pornography, but you don't need a forum or a website, just stop watching it and treat it like any other addiction.

dostoyevsky's the double

>sometimes feel awkward hen talking to people
>'doc please tell me I'm a special snowflake and gib me drugs'
yeah quit being a pussy

>start browsing /pol/
>let the autism seep into everything i do

This. Although I think you've overstated the point.

>>9623868
Hey, why didn't you ask your fucking therapist this question?

>>9623868
You know what will help you? Not a book but confronting your fears. I still have social anxiety but it's become better since I work in event management. In this kind of business you simply HAVE to deal with new people every fucking day.

Instead of locking yourself up in your room, willingly and consciously expose yourself to the outside. It helped me and I'd recommend it to anyone.

No it's just that guy, on vacation, in some uncanny pose, completely unaltered

Good advice, sure, but why give it to me?

But what do I do after I've cleaned my room mr. Peterson?

sartres novels are full of social anxiety, nausea in particular is just one long paranoid anxiety episode

Yeah agree with you completely here, I'm not some locked-in autismo. I go to parties, I have friends, it's just that I still experience plenty of anxiety in the professional part of my life. And with certified help I'll be able to go through the whole process a lot easier (also my insurance pays for it and it's a fairly low key arrangement).

I'm not asking for books as some way to save my soul, I just enjoy reading things I identify with.
