Your diary desu. Look back through it and see where you life went wrong. Maybe that can give you some clues about how to correct everything.

You could try by maybe re-reading the books which you loved as a child (if you can remember them), and that might give you a clue about what it is about reading that made you love it in the first place.

>So why does something like Music or Literature have such a toxic, steep, pseudo learning curve on it?
Insecurity arising from the fact that these '''hobbies''' are fairly easy to get into. They hate that it's all they have, despite not requiring much skill to do (if we're talking about listening to and not playing or composing it), and so they make it seem exclusive to try and make themselves feel better.

You have to do your own annotations, anon. And then it's time for your to resell the book, the next person who owns it can do theirs, and so on.

But if you write, you need to write for your audience who include women and liberals. Isn't it rational to understand how other people function to more accurately communicate with them?

That was a lovely piece of writing. Though I want to get deeper.

"He felt suddenly frightened" could be written as "His heart suddenly began to race and his eyes flitted from one box to another"

Instead of explicitly telling the audience that 'he felt suddenly frightened', you can demonstrate physiological reactions of fright, elevated pulse and increased vigilance to let the audience put the dots together as they see fit.

One person reading 'He got frightened' will understand as much as another. But by writing "His heart suddenly began to race and his eyes flitted from one box to another" different people will understand the reaction differently.

Though, I like what you are saying. Using the environment like a mirror to show emotion in a literary way.

My example was less about literary writing and more about learning how people feel. I have a condition where I can't identify emotions, I don't know what any of those emotions I listed feel like. I do however feel the physiological effects and can link those effects to the emotions after the fact.
