Is it a bad sign if I can relate to Yozo from no longer human? I can't read too much of that book in one sitting, it's too real.

Yes because you didn't get it.
He was the product of a countrys opressive mindset where the individual mattered less than the collective.
You're just a dude with bad social skills.

t. Guy who didn't get it and tries to make up for that by imprinting his own political bias on the work.
Not bad. I feel the same sometimes.
>>9782133
how could someone , especially an 'outsider', not relate to that.
>>9782018
Well, yes I do think it's a bad sign if you can relate but I don't think that necessarily means you're a bad person. I started crying in public reading it.
>>9782133
So if you're not an identical product of identical circumstances, you can't relate? Okay.
>Can relate to the underground man
>>9782018
I'm sure every insecure undergraduate who constantly tries to inflate their ego because they read mediocre literature fiction can relate to protagonist of No Longer Human
>relates a lot to ko-chan
send help

If you're worried about being The Underground Man then you're not him. When I read the book on the other hand I was gleeful thinking "yeah my mere existence would piss a lot of people off. Take that normies! ;^)"
It just means you're all late teens/early 20s, with little sexual experience, low T and possible gender/sexual identity issues
tl;dr stop watching porn and start injecting you faggots

I feel your pain

I related to it a lot to the point where I was almost cheering "yes, thank God, someone who understands!"
I'm guessing it's INTP-core; I mean people say Myers-Briggs is pseudoscientific nonsense but I've heard of too many people relating so well with No Longer Human that it has to hold some truth, because Yozo's emotions and thoughts are so specific.
