Your picture is making me reevaluate my priorities. You've waited 10 years to read Proust? I'm waiting to read Proust. I'd like to learn French first but right now I'm learning German to read Goethe so I probably won't read Proust for at least 10 years. I hope you enjoy it, anon. But look in the background of your picture. The guy and the girl on the left. The family in the center. Have you missed out on anything because of your commitment to literature? Don't get so lost in your books that you forget about life. I don't know if that counts as a "roast" but I didn't mean for it to be if it does. I'm gonna go practice my German now.

I wasn't trying to roast anybody. It was serious advice. Work out, be confident/yourself, and all of that stuff. Most people who don't like life have it within themselves to enjoy life if they apply themselves in the right directions. There are some exceptions, such as people who are badly disabled or had some kind of really horrible tragedy befall them but for most people "get better at life" is perfectly fine advice, though I will admit it's not helpful without an elaboration.

Crippled mentally in what way? Some mental illnesses are worse than others. I'm the guy who was telling people to get good at life (not the one you're responding to who said to imagine being one of those people) and I've been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and wanted to kill myself for a couple years. Now I am enjoying life and I am very glad I did not kill myself.

It's because I want to read it in French and I don't know French yet. I used to have that mentality where I would put off reading certain books or watching certain movies so I could enjoy them later in the future but I've been trying to get rid of that because I worry it holds me back from enjoying things. It's usually because I feel I'm not ready or to leave something to look forward to in the future.

Reading it in English is better than not reading it at all, anon. I'm going to put it off because I feel I will eventually learnn French but don't listen to the people on here who say you're an idiot for reading translations. Obviously something is going to be lost in translation but there are a lot of highly respected translators out there who do a stellar job.

There's plenty of reasons why people don't like or enjoy life that doesn't involve them not picking up and putting down heavy object repeatedly, you retarded, gibbering ape. God i hate /fit/posters.
