There's not much I can do to prove I'm not trolling as well but Stirner helped me out big time personally. He shows why everyone has the right to feel unique and why the mature man is an egoist.

I'm a pleb though.

I'm just wondering how new you are. For months you couldn't start a thread without our lord MAX being shitposted.

He's both meme and sincere, and I guess that's the best you can hope for.

Get a journal. Pour out your emotion into that. Try not to get caught up in others bullshit (you will but you'll move past it), try not to get too caught up in your own thoughts (you will, but you'll move past it). Write about life and all of it's wonderful intricacies, grab some sharpies and coat the walls, make your skin a medium, take your wisdom out to the world and paint it with whatever brush places itself in your hand!

Just let yourself go and create. That's how I don't give a fuck.

I agree with the guy who said Stirner.

Also, for me the most important was Michel Houellebecq's novels (I started with Whatever). You just need to wake up and realize that, outside your family and close friends, no one really cares about you at all, and this is pretty freeing.

This is great therapy (journal). Don't be a bitch and go back and make changes or erase/scribble shit out either.

Even if it's the most cringeworthy and sappy shit, keep it, look back, and reflect on it.

^This.

^Also, this.

Instead of going into helpful details, I'll go get some rest. Reply if you really need some, though.

As for a book to help you not care what others think of you? I read no book on the matter, so I have none to recommend.

Why don't you AskReddit "How did you learn to not care what others think of you?"

Prometheus rising to start then other titles like it.

However this will result possibly in ego death and disconnection with popular reality.
