i still need to read the willows, that's by blackwood right?

one other thing, I adore these sites dedicated to housing all works of a given author, it's best with short-story and pulp since the website format lends itself to brevity. I've already found these two, one on CAS and Lovecraft, any others? can't find one for arthur machen.

Recently I’ve realized that, despite being quite socially active, I feel a piercing loneliness.
I come here because effortposting on the books I read with other anons is one of the few times I can openly exchange these ideas with the other person comprehending and discussing.
I know many people AFK but the vast majority can’t seem to grasp complex concepts.
But here the freedom of exchange comes at the cost of identity and recognition.

So either I‘m here and I‘m not really me, but feel less lonely with my ideas, or I‘m AFK and I‘m really me, but even surrounded by friends, I feel alone in my head.
Too often I have to filter the words and concepts I say and use in order for the other person to understand and not think I’m belittling them.

Are my friends just shit?
Are there books on the topic? Surely, this is a common feeling?

I’ve seen multiple Philosophers talk about it in passing but they always just urge you to act towards their ideals instead.

If it wasn’t clear I’m asking myself some of those as well and would really like you to try and answer at least some, so that we can maybe discuss further.

I'm sure you'll get out of it, Anon.
Stay strong, even when it doesn't seem to matter.
