ah ok I thought so, this also explains how you read so much (although I still can't imagine reading as much as you do). I really enjoyed reading the story, written stuff on goodreads is usually horrible so this was a nice exception. Some things really hit home hard.

I don't see how your own life can seem insignificant to you. In fact it is much easier to argue that 99.9999% of the universe and 99% of what happens on the earth is in fact not significant to your life. Your life (and the things influencing it) is ultimately the only thing that matters. So what I want to say is: the perspective is a bit weird. Of course your life is insignificant to the universe, but the universe is not a sentient being; and your life might very well be significant to a lot of others (friends, family etc.). But I digress.

I think that you feel the most helpless and tiny when your own life is in the hand of others, i.e. your decisions cannot change your life (or you are in a loss-loss situation). If you want to read about this, you can start with Kafka (being powerless and seemingly unable to change their destiny is often a key feature of his characters). Other books are Journey to the End of the Night by Céline, which is about a dude who is kind of stuck in a low social class for his whole life or Homo Faber by Max Frisch which is about a guy getting constantly fucked by bad luck.

I know these are maybe not the kind of books you were explicitly asking for, but whatever, they are good regardless and maybe you'll enjoy them anyway.

>unironically using the term SJW

And yet you complain about "fedora-man" memes. Recs aren't too bullshitty though.
Here pic related is one of my fav fedora pics. I think it kind of ironically satirizes both fedora wearers and posters alike by Cranston's hyperbolic tipping. Don't you like it as well?
