/lit/ - Literature

much like dancing or hitting a golf ball, confidence cannot be gleaned from books.

>>12815750
How does one improve confidence then?

>>12815750
Hmm I'd agree there's no quick fix, but I'd argue that even some basic self-help book that merely instructs on how to "try" to be confident would be helpful. There might be some good recommendations here.

>>12815762
Overcoming childhood and adult trauma, if any adult trauma

>>12815762
It's mostly a matter of being in social circles where people punish unconfident behaviors. It will hurt at first cause you will be a target, but it will toughen you up and you will notice yourself more unafraid of life situations in general.

just b urself

>>12815789
So a place like prison where you will be exploited if not confident?

>>12815762
have sex regularly

>>12815799
I used to have sex near every day and it didn't really help

>>12815804
Similarly, no book is going to give you confidence.
Like no woman give you love.
It’s all on you

>>12815797
That works or you could hold a shitty job surrounded by low class people or move to a rough neighborhood.

>>12815819
@.@

I think I’ll just watch you post tonight

>>12815789
That should take place during High school, that happened to me during and I’m grateful

>>12815819
What book are you currently reading our lovely butterfly friend, this is what I’ve got on my plate

>>12815799
Retard

>>12815867
You're right... it _should_, but with all the anti-"bullying" snowflake fuss in current times, anti-social behaviors are left to fester until they turn into full blown mental illnesses.

>>12815908
Yeah, it's definitely not the bullying itself that kills confidence and causes mental illness

>>12815908
Yeah, instead of pulling a Columbine, which I have never thought of doing, it makes you stable, you think before you speak rather than act like a faggot, entry level logical thinking, after you enjoy classic literature, also the obscurities, Philosophy too

>>12815879
Just finished Le Guin’s Wave in the Mind, and started on Inseparable, though I am neglecting three or four others I’m in the middle of

>>12815977
Read some heterosexual literature please :3 (is it working?)

>>12815804

>>12815901

>>12815999
You’re an idiot regardless of sincerity.

>>12816011
Hahahahaha ;3

I think that’s a yes ;)

>>12816016
Read that No Gods No Masters anthology yet?
You have these to read after (also for OP)

None of these straight, male and female authors disused me from my sexuality

>>12816039
Fucking Based, also how are you finding inseparable so far?

>>12816039
So why are you recommending me stuff exactly? Is it because you think I might be able to?

>>12816039
not the guy you replied to, but are you talking about the anarchism anthology? recently scored it and only read the first chapter about stirner, what are your thoughts on it as a whole?

>>12816048
Oh, it’s just the introduction so far. She’s explaining how she has to narrow her focus there’s so much ground to cover.

>>12816049
>...might be able to...
Read? I was challenging you to read. Full disclosure; you’ll still have zero chance with me.

>>12816064
It was very informative. Loved it. I should DL volume 2 actually

>>12816085
Sounds like I might be able to get my chances up if I read them huh ;3

>>12816093
Chances of learning
Re the disclosure again

>>12816097
So those books are going to teach me how to please you sexually?

I can’t think of any other reason why you’d be recommending me anything ;3

>>12815747
Fake it till you make it, Plato, Aristotle, get a job, gym, walk outside for an hour, cardio, hang out with people once a week for a couple years (or switch up the formula but you get it), and, above all, having a healthy passion, i.e., a hobby that is well looked upon and that you can talk about for hours. If this means literature, then you better know your literature.

>>12816097

>>12816123

Oh no. I’ve seen enough back and forth from you. Either you want my dick or you want to seem like you do :p

>>12815879
Funny, that same cover is in my edition of Brothers Karamazov
