How to deal with being alone without going grazy?
Is there any philosophers who have some opnion on this, or a book about the subject? My problem is that im lonely. Im not currently depressed or anything but i know that spending too much time with yourself can make you depressed and i dont want that. Making friends is not an option.

Complete isolation without going mad is an impossibility for humans.

Why is making friends not an option?

I have tried that and it's really hard.

It's not solitude that will make you crazy but idleness. I found when I was unemployed my mind was racing with frivolous knowledge and experience that heightened anxiety, nervousness and depression, intensified after drinking.
My best advice would be start working. Either find a job or create your own and start earning because that will give you a starting stake or fundament for your life and mind.
Any books, films or tv you consume will only exacerbate your instability until you locate and start to build on the fundamentals.

Nothing worth having is easy.

Just find people who share your same interests (Literature, I assume). It should occur pretty naturally.

Or you could become a serial rapist and chain playmates down in your cellar, idk.

I've been isolated for years now and I'm doing fine. I've only noticed a blow to my memory and other cognitive areas. It's okay, you'll probably kill yourself soon. If you like, we could die together.

but... you have to work for all of those. Unless you still with your mom, of course. And then those things come at the expense of your dignity

If your self-esteem is dependant on being a good little worker you lack dignity in the first place. Can't you feel worthy without being someone's instrument?

It is. Feeling the need to compensate life for its pleasures betrays not feeling worthy of them otherwise.

I find myself in stasis. Observing my life in passing, I remain still. Awaiting a dream to come true, while I lay asleep. A dream does suffice for my reality. I sit quietly waiting, but for what I do not know. Of all my wishes, I wish that even one would come to fruition. Yet that itself is merely a wish. I have hope, but my hopes are not hopeful. My hopes are extensions of doubt, and insecurity. In faithlessness I have created faith. Faith that I will Falter; Faith that I will fail; Faith that I am Undeserving; Faith that I am worthless; Faith that I am foolish. Quite faithful for having no faith. There is no hope in any of this; It is all meaningless. Static life is not life. There is a time to be still and a time to move. Reach for a moving target. The time for stillness is over, for even when you lay asleep the world is moving about you; Even while you dream, there are hopes being realized all around. Patience is neccessary, but waiting with idle ambition is waste. It grows nothing of value. No thing will come when nothing is offered. I sit in stasis, dreaming, hoping, faithfully waiting for life to unfold; It has already been unraveled. The tapestry of your life is sewn by your hands. With each choice, another stitch, until it begins to take form.
