Stop bifurcating your poop

these books are written by normies who have no idea what being socially isolated feels like.
if you were born asocial you can cope more than someone who was born social but became asocial later on. people who were born social often kill themselves when they become socially isolated

forcing people who are socially isolated to socialize is even worse for them than letting them stay socially isolated. i say this as someone who is socially isolated.
being around other people makes me depressed and makes me wanna kill myself

>by having a daily routine
This daily routine needs to contain some unpleasant aspects. Do something that you hate every day. The human condition demands it. Without an index to what we despise, we lose track of what we really enjoy.

Is this a euphemism? I do not understand this reference.

Read the Bible - New Living Translation.

Unironically, "The subtle art of not giving a fuck". Don't listen to the bitter fucks ragging on self help books on this board, telling you it's shit literature. It helped me with my depression and it's not long at all, so you might aswell give it a read.

>human condition
such as?

>>13717082
>Human nature
>social interaction as a need

Idealist bullshit for the weak clearly. "Run back to the herd".

Your problem is your discontent with what is. Read the miracle of mindfulness. Learn to be content with whats happening then your inclinations and interests may lead you to be social. If not theres nothing wrong with that.

Surely you've heard the krishnamurti quote about a sick society?
