>most people find the idea of reading for an extended amount of time very lonely. It's why you may know someone that is very smart but doesn't read - they don't want to be faced with just themselves.
How do I fix this? I remember all the times I've been helpless and in fear often when I read and how I'm still worthless, I play the memories over and over again in my head. I shitpost 12 hours a day and watch films till I fall asleep and do it all over again because it distracts me even though I'm by myself.

>>"This would be remembered by Kafka as the most enjoyable period of his life [4], for despite his illness he was now able to wake in the afternoon as he preferred and write throughout the night. In her letters, Kafka's sister recalls her brother "practically crying tears of joy" as he learned of his diagnosis from Dr. Liepszche. "Never have I seen my brother so contented," she writes to their mother in 1914, "Franz wakes most days shortly after midday and enjoys a long solitary stroll before returning for a hearty lunch and then locks himself away with his books through most of the night. He very much reminds me of a happy child lost in imagination."

>Montaigne's education began in early childhood and followed a pedagogical plan that his father had developed, refined by the advice of the latter's humanist friends. Soon after his birth, Montaigne was brought to a small cottage, where he lived the first three years of life in the sole company of a peasant family, in order to, according to the elder Montaigne, "draw the boy close to the people, and to the life conditions of the people, who need our help".[16] After these first spartan years, Montaigne was brought back to the château. The objective was for Latin to become his first language.

>The intellectual education of Montaigne was assigned to a German tutor (a doctor named Horstanus, who could not speak French). His father hired only servants who could speak Latin, and they also were given strict orders always to speak to the boy in Latin. The same rule applied to his mother, father, and servants, who were obliged to use only Latin words he himself employed, and thus acquired a knowledge of the very language his tutor taught him. Montaigne's Latin education was accompanied by constant intellectual and spiritual stimulation. He was familiarized with Greek by a pedagogical method that employed games, conversation, and exercises of solitary meditation, rather than the more traditional books.
