Reading is just about the only thing that makes me happy. At the same time, the more I learn from reading, the more depressed I become. I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

Books on how to have a healthy relationship life and a happy marriage?

Do any books touch upon the idea of social media essentially being dopamine gambling of the worst kind?

The voices told me to tell /lit/ that if it's hot then maybe it just needs to cool down.

I think I might be having something wrong with my head. Whenever I smoke weed my brain feels like it’s shrinking literally. I’m constantly whirling around and scared to not know what’s behind me. I always talk to myself in private or in my head but now I’m not ashamed to do it publicly. I’ve stopped smoking weed for the last three months but something is still wrong. Should I go to a psychiatrist? I hear they are a meme. I also can’t listen to music with words anymore, only classical or OST’s. I’m 21 and I’m a mullato. /pol/ told me that it could be a genetic illness due to me being interracial and that this is the beginning. If this is true then no modern day doctors would actually help me since they wouldn’t believe in that. And to make things even worse, I’ve always had identity issues but with the recent BLM stuff going on it’s gotten ten times worse. What do I do /lit/

Kek it's a different type of addiction, it doesn't commit you or detract you from your normal life

I would probably never press it but I'd hold on to it like my most treasured possession and as long as I had it I knew I could lead a happy life

If you kill enough people any economic system can work :)

In any case I just want the text of these plays in latin and some of them are impossible to find, any one happens to know where "verses about the stranger" can be found? Or sponsus or east verses...

>Yeah it's definitely possible, not speaking of myself because I don't have the right to, but I know people like this. It's hard though, there are too many distractions and not enough collegiality, and the kind of dilettantism you see on /lit/ is the most likely result, people who know a little here and there and have good intentions but mostly don't engage seriously with anything.

>The one nice thing about university is that it forces you to read concertedly, at least occasionally. And it surrounds you with people who are at least ostensibly experts on the same topic, so there's enough collegiality and competition to keep you motivated. But the downside of university is that it's far more likely to turn you into a polished nothing than a something. So both avenues have their pitfalls.

>It's the only path to happiness though if you don't "fit" into normie hell. Especially once you start to crest thirty you really realize modern life is a giant advertising campaign geared at 20yos, and when you're no longer in its target demographic you're just discarded and have to live off scraps for the remaining decades of your life. This is why millennial men 25-40 seem to have stopped growing as people at 21, so they just become older and older versions of cool hip fag characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer still gossiping about comic book movies and ironically watching Samurai Jack in their thirties. There's just nothing else. If you want to escape this, devote yourself to a higher calling or ideally several callings, and actually keep dashing yourself against it until you reconstitute enough times that you begin to gain some perspective on what you're doing. And constantly try to find collegiality and camaraderie with other people who have somehow beaten the odds and managed to become human
