Same.
Even though I lift, eat clean, read, write, work, have had many girls, invest, tried to make friends, etc. I still feel empty inside

Unironically stumbled into that series myself man, I really really like it too.

Got mogged by a pro-natalist at my workplace yesterday

>people are standing at the kitchenette area discussing their weekends and laughing
>went over to fill up my water bottle
>find they are discussing having kids since one girl is pregnant
>"chill" Chad asks "So what about you Anon?" in a way that pretty much was louder than the entire conversations going on
>pretend not to hear
>turn and realize I'm now included in their conversation
>tell them I don't plan to have children
>same "chill" guy asks me why
>say I don't think it's ethically permissible
>guy who only usually talks about Netflix series' seems excited and says he loves "getting philosophical"
>literally couldn't remember anything from the 40 or so pages of David Benatar I marathoned
>couldn't remember anything from the anti-natalism Wikipedia page I skimmed
>got absolutely mogged and the pregnant girl said "Awww, you'll find someone!" in a genuine-seeming nice way

Okay what books do I need to read to form a serious argument here. I've already Amazon Prime'd the Benatar books, any others? Serious philosophers only.

Any 150 - 250 page contemporary novels about lonely guys craving for affection and stability?

Does smoking help you read / write?

How about coffee?

W-wouldn't k-know, haha.

Are there any good books on finding self-worth and feeling less afraid of asking for things in life?

Self-help, fiction, non-fiction all appreciated.
