Hello, /lit/. I'm in need of advice but I'm also looking for books that may be of help to someone in my situation. There's one thing above all else which is my lack of interest in the world around me. My parents (I live at home) currently think I'm starting some mid-semester classes at a university when I haven't done anything since spring. Not sure how I'm going to break the news, it's not even something I think about because I just don't give a shit. It's not even laziness. I know what I can do when I put even a slight amount of effort into my studies, I just can't be bothered to on a bigger scale. I feel like my time in college has been nothing but me prolonging the inevitable (graduation) for as long as possible, and I'm at the point now where my peers from high school have graduated by now. What should I do, honestly? Is there anything I can do? You often hear about so many people in this society with large ambition, big plans, "caring about their future" "dream jobs" and stuff of that sort, but I personally have no idea what desire even is. I've never felt any urge aside from squandering potential, and even that seems more unconscious than anything.

Has any work of philosophy surpassed Plato's Symposium in the understanding of eros?

Lit youtubers are well known, but are there any good lit tiktokers?

>makes you straight

>I have intuitions about the subjective factor, the inner world. That is very difficult to understand because what I see are most uncommon things, and I don't like to talk about them because I am not a fool. I would spoil my own game by telling what I see, because people wont understand it.... So you see, if I were to speak of what I really perceive, practically no one would understand me. I have learned to keep things to myself, and you will hardly ever hear me talking of these things. That is a great disadvantage, but it is an enormous advantage in another way, not to speak of the experiences I have in that respect and also in my human relations. For instance, I come into the presence of somebody I don't know, and suddenly I have inner images, and these images give me more or less complete information about the psychology of the partner. It can also happen that I come into the presence of somebody I don't know at all, not from Adam, and I know an important piece out of the biography of that person, and am not aware of it, and I tell the story, and then the fat is in the fire. So I have in a way a very difficult life, although one of the most interesting lives, but it is often difficult to get into my confidence. [Interviewer]: Yes, because you say you are afraid people will think you are sick.] [Jung:] The things that are interesting to me, or are vital, are utterly strange to the ordinary individual (Jung Speaking, pp. 309-311).

And how many of you can relate to this?

Anything by Houellebecq, Dostoyevsky, Céline, Hesse
or just spend some time on TikTok and then realize there's no hope for this world and just kill yourself.

Based.

Op is a coomer.

What role does the nation play in the poet?

Instagram is only good for fap fodder.
Facebook is good if you wanna see if that distant aunt is still alive, or maybe if you wanna get depressed by comparing your life to the (superior) lives of people you used to know.

Really, the worst social media platform is TikTok. It's everything stripped away to nothing but pure vanity.

Is the intention to read a bit of one of these before going to sleep every night or to impress your guests?
If it's the former then unironically it's a good way to get through The Bible. Poetry and short story collections are good for this too.
If it's the latter then you've probably already achieved your goal, maybe stick some other recognizable ancient philosophers in there.
