What are some good books about social isolation and alienation? I’ve already read A Man Asleep.

I don't have any friends or girlfriends. Only time I feel alone is when I'm living with other people.

seconded. The metamorphosis is an allegory for becoming a neet/hikkikomori.
Really makes you think about the way people are treated when they can no longer contribute labor. Hmmm...

He wasn't always a 'parasite'. His family didn't even like or have any compassion for him when he was providing for them, which is a factor in him giving up.
Clearly, the father had the ability to work and contribute, but he didn't actually get off his ass until my guy turned into a beetle. Then he had the audacity to treat his son like a piece of shit for having a breakdown. His father was a filthy hypocrite.

Then the real issue was never lack of labor, but absence of love. Get augustine pilled

Those quads deserve an answer but I am not good enough to give one. Sorry my man. Just research Augustine and charity
