any books to help me grow up? also books that will make me less mentally ill? i'm a guy

>> No.17162701

start with the greeks and listen to lectures about their work. you wont become more grown up or have your mental illness cured but people will think youre intelligent and theyd rather have an absentminded professor/mad genius than a mentally ill manchild.

the only way to learn to fit in with society is to socialize, so you need to bring something to the table to make it worth peoples time hanging out with you. since youre here i assumed you would enjoy becoming well versed in the classics, which will make some people open to socializing with you and forgiving insults that are bound to happen.

The big catch is that what most normies offer to other normies are more social contacts. Socialization is capitalistic, if you don't already have contacts then you by definition have nothing to offer. If OP is highly physically attractive he might get some allure some women and she can be his first contact

I'm very smart and good looking (i think). But I'm probably one of the worst socializers I've ever met. I have generally have confidence when it comes to fighting, but i basically have no social skills.
