Really Felt like bandini as a teenager : liar, looser with too much pride and egoist

I wish I was him

Verdurins definitely and any of the obnoxious illiterate cunts from the dinner parties. I have low self-esteem from childhood abuse.

>I can’t do anything, either. I have no powers of imagination, no feeling for nature, and books nauseate me. When we have lost ourselves, we have lost everything. I swear to you, sometimes I wish I were a day laborer, just to have when I wake up in the morning a prospect of the day to come, an obligation, a hope.

Bob Slocum from Something Happened couldn't be any more different than me, yet we have the same thoughts on a lot of things. It's kind of amazing.

Oh wow what a shock these are the same books that have been posted in these threads for literally years

Have any of you thought to seek fucking help or do you just sit around reading books thinking that your suffering means you're built of the finer stuff the authors were?

>>22065178
What does seeking help look like?

>>22065178
I'm quite tired of seeing retards telling others to get help but never explaining what this help means. Please explain to me how you would help one of these people and the methods you'd use. And in case you're going to say it, CBT therapy is a meme and does not work.

Keep quiet if you don't know what you're talking about.

>>22065178
>literally years
as opposed to figuratively or metaphorically years?

>cbt therapy is a meme and does not work
picrel unironically works. I've gone through a lot of therapists. psychodynamic therapy (basically just diet psychoanalysis) is the only kind of therapy that feels like it's actually doing something, like actually getting at the root of myself. the other kinds seem like they're splashing around in the shallow end. hope I can save up enough to get properly analyzed some day, I think it's fascinating -- and, again, the only kind of therapy I've experienced that seems to not only help but see me as a person and not merely a neurochemical machine
