/lit/ - Literature

I don't know, I guess Hesse's Siddharta to some extent?

I would say probably Siddhartha - the one by Herman Hesse

literature isn't self-help

It could be worse

It isnt, but lit tends to centre a lot around people and emotions depicting real life scenarios or concepts.

Not really about a break-up in any definite sense, but Wordsworth's Lucy poems have always summed up for me the kind of loss and reflection you might be feeling, but without offering any sense of closure or self-helpyness.

Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding you lame ass faggot OP

When I broke up with my ex I lifted and passively vented my frustration in conversation with other girls which oddly made them think I was talking about them and they were all trying to fill the void that only knowledge and health can fill.

Stop being a deplorable, self-pitying bitch, it could be way worse. Cocksucking amibo collecting autist.

The Crying of Lot 49 got me through rough times, brother. Give it a whirl and report back.

honestly 1.5 months into getting over a 3 month relationship i started infinite jest, and it took me 1.5 months to read. so i'm like done with my escape and ive started another big maximalist tome but im wondering if i even properly grieved or if im just escaping into another big dense fantasy that might, forgive me, replace the real 1

I was with my last gf for four years and when it ended I wasn't as much of a faggot as you are

That feel when you haven't been loved enough by another human being to even know what love is let alone a breakup.

i feel for you OP. me and my gf broke up after 3 weeks and i was highly suicidal, threaten to kill myself an her, they sent me to psych ward and there i read the whole harry potter series for the first time (only book they had) and i mourned in there, cried with potter and hermione, when i left i felt much better like my life was more magical for once. i love rowling now and have written her 3 letters about how she saved me

man I try to be supportive because everyone has different reactions to stuff and it's not fair to assume how people should react to breakups but 1.5 months for a 3 month relationship seems more than sufficient. pull it together (unless it was your first relationship, that'd actually be understandable)

also how does one book take you six weeks to finish

>>11494407
I know this is probably bait but if it is, it's good bait. Even if you didn't mention the psych ward I'd be able to tell that the author is mentally unstable. 3 weeks isn't really a relationship, it's just dating.

>>11494149
honestly this seems like the typical DFW fan. you all remind me of Ted from HIMYM

wtf is wrong with you bro

>>11494149
Don't let these cunts get to you. Spending 3 months with a person you love and having that person break up with you, maybe in a really shitty way, can destroy a man. All these fuc bois are thinking of their experiences fucking some ho who they don't give a shit about for 3 months, not a relationship where you love the person.

>>11493666
Just terrible.

>>11493421
I don't know of it will help but your ex is probably getting railed by jocks right now.
You're welcome

>>11493421
I'd recommend this, it makes me want a gf to break up with just so the clip has even more of an effect on me

>>11493421
Stop being such a pussy and do something productive. Women are not supposed to provide you with happiness, they're there as a bonus.
