>protagonist is a quiet intelligent outsider who is lonely but has a girlfriend who knows him like no one else and who understands that this is what he needs to do and promises that she'll wait for him

This literally only happens in stories, if you know life. Why waste time reading some wet dreams of a loner?
>can't get a gf because being a lone wolf is a meme
>write one for yourself
>she's all understanding
>she's the only woman who can get your elegant soul
This is so pathetic. I wish people would never promote such imaginary. Edgy teenagers go on to paint themselves and misunderstood geniuses instead of socializing.

This.

Social skills can be learned at any age. It’s vastly more important than your IQ. Just ask any schlub that has worked in retail. Who do you think is getting those promotions? The guy that is socially intelligent.

This is how I went from awkward teenager to normal human. Got a girlfriend and learned a lot. Broke up and she's my best friend and I've been on a couple dates since.

Life is perfect except that I'm poor and you can't eat books. You can't just have one aspect of your life be exceptional and assume the rest is good too, in fact I'd say you usually only get to pick a few things to have perfect in your life while the rest is on a thread between 'ok' and 'dog shit'

Maybe this Will O' the Wisp by Pierre Drieu La Rochelle.
You can see the film. One of my favorites.
