I probably read something like 20-30 books from the time I was 10 to the time I was 24. I've recently decided to make reading a larger focus of my free time and I'm on track to read more books this year than in my entire lifetime.

Some of that comes from having a serious encounter with depression that I came out of this year, and realizing I am now closer to 30 than 20 made me kick this shit into high gear.

Personally, I can't really respect a man that doesn't want to at least understand the great novels, even if he doesn't want to necessarily want to spend the time reading them.

What's wrong from a Jungian therapeutic point of view with fantasizing about being the little girl with a little penis, ultimately?

>Well you see the animus dominus misaligns with the three wolves horizon and you must slay your single mother archetype

Yeah yeah, but for what practical reason and how is that bad and from what point of view other than it rubbing mythology the wrong way?

Is it that e.g. I am less self-efficacious than I could be or that I am bound to be anxious and depressed or suffer from anything palpable at all? I don't feel anxious. I feel like my fantasies ground me, I feel like the dildo I shove up my ass sometimes while I imagine a real man taking me makes me go through life with more inspiration and drive.

I tried asceticism before and while inner calm is great and all that, it's not fulfilling like the dildo.

So what is your problem that you say I have a problem?

Therapy for what?

Make a definite claim here please, if there is one to be made with Jung. I am genuinely curious what he had to say here.

I hate reading desu. What I actually like is arguing with myself about obscure abstractions and writing longish aphorisms.

You ask how to start and what's even more hilarious how to read more while at the same time speaking of genuine desire for knowledge?

Hey buddy, why has your desire not manifested in any determined effort? Do you know what people who crave knowledge do? They read the Greeks at 14 or teach themselves calculus at 12. Do you think that's because someone told them it's the optimal course of action?

I've been reading online pedias daily for over a fucking decade and I would never describe myself as desiring knowledge. What I desire most of the time is masturbation and sleep. Reading that shit is what I do when I'm bored which is easy when you have no friends.

You see I don't even want to play but even little old me BTFOs you at this game. What about people with just a little more motivation, higher iq?

Fucking sort yourself out and reevaluate your life bucko.

Why is it that when I want to read a philosophical treatise about mental health, how to live life the right way and deal with my thoughts and emotions I have the choice of

>stale and intellectually unsatisfying greeks and romans
>incoherent eastern magic trick truths of the universe
>the autistic ramblings of schopie and neetcheese
>selfhelpshit by mike mcburger

Why? What is wrong with modern Western intellectuals that they always evade these questions? Why does neurotic slavic man never talk about how to improve your outlook and instead makes abstract observations about fetishes?

Does this bother anyone else?

What's the difference between "fuck" and "cunt"?
Both swears, yes, but of totally different meanings
why ask this bullshit? congratulations on noticing a very basic similarity, but you've managed to twist it into a stupid stupid question

>I love such and such an author! He's my favourite!

(I) At face value, this statement sounds stupid. Beyond face value, you haven't supported it with any line of reasoning that might justify it.
(II) This image does not give me feels, since I am one such "different" person and am not unhappy about it. You can probably assume that most people browsing /lit/ are also like that
