So how many of you are foreveralone.jpeg?

And if so, do you think that maybe certain books have changed your views regarding the matter??

Steppenwolf is the ultimate book on forever alone.

>> No.1765806

I'm not ronery but I am reading Desolation Angels right now and that is the picture on the cover. Pretty good so far.

>> No.1765807

You're always alone no matter who you try to get to construct an illusion otherwise. Books didn't help me re-adjust how I viewed relationships, the person I'm with did. However, relationships will always end (if not by a grand rebellion against the ephemeral natures of human romance, by death), and so if you're not 'alone' now, you will be again. So, fill your life and seek joy elsewhere, and enjoy relationships for what they are, while they last, as hard as it can be to view them truthfully and objectively.

Not I. I play the field in between serious relationships. I'm okay with that.

After reading The Sorrows of Young Werther I decided that I'm going to kill myself if I'm still foreveralone by the time im 30.

The Fall

I generally prefer to be alone. I'm a self indulgent narcisistic misanthrope. Feels great, man.

Is it unusual that I'm on /lit/ and I actually like people?

>> No.1766233

It's hard finding anyone who's read Infinite Jest, GR, and A Confederacy of Dunces, much less an attractive young lady who would call them her favorites. And I'm not ugly.

after reading a significant amount of philosophy, one finds that finding and maintaining a relationship with a girl is about the least of my concerns

I'm foreveraloneish. Books have definitely changed my views on it, but it's difficult to be precise in describing how.

what are your serious concerns, then?

>>1766233
I don't care what other people read. I care about character. I don't find any correlation between intelligence/knowledge/culture/taste/etc and character in my experience.

>> No.1766577

Character by far should be the main factor in determining someones relationship potential. I couldn't care less if they haven't even seen a book in 15 years, so long as its enjoyable being with them.
