I want to start writing one, but I don't have any time for sitting and concentrate. When I have the time my brain it's kind of tired or some shit

The only language I know aside of my mattern one (castilian) is the english language. I have never read a book in english; all I know is thank to internet videos and web pages.

Most of my reading material is in spanish; the only thing made out of paper, with english words printed on it, was a manual for electron tubes.

I don't know what to read in english. Something british or american? idk.

I love to read texts from the classic Rome.

Can you anons recommend me something?

God damn, I'm watching an old home video from 6-7 years ago, I can barely handle it. I can see the ugly incel chinless weirdo schizoid I was in real time, yet I was completely unaware of it at the time. I'm still exactly like that now, haven't changed a fucking bit.

It's brutal, I see all my family members who have grown and gotten careers and moved on and outward in life, establishing new friendships and relationships, going places, taking new opportunities and coming back with new stories, yet I am still the same weirdo incel loser I was close to a decade ago. I just sat there silently in all the videos, exactly as I would do today because I'd be afraid to talk on the camera. I'm such a worthless loser, and I look the part too. Zero chin or jaw, big, long horse face, horrible thin, sickly hair with a receding hairline, big bags under my eyes like I'm dying, just an unpleasant looking person. Seeing yourself next to others you know in third person and how full of life and energy they look is brutal.

Here is the philosophical question I want to ponder: Can people actually change? Can your fundamental personality ever change? I've tried so hard to make myself a better person and more normal but I just don't ever see a period where I'm a talkative, outgoing, energetic person who isn't an ugly schizoid weirdo. Is it really possibly to change at a fundamental level?
