The guy was engaged with the cutest girl in Copenhagen and you come here and call him an incel?
He was a proto-fuckboy

Kierk himself would probably agree. Very interesting to read his later recollections about that period in his life. He even says explicitly somewhere that with either/or he was attempting to essentially 'make it as an author', that he knew he wrote a masterpiece, but genuine masterpieces receive only envy and misunderstanding and turned him into a target, because Diary was actually really controversial at the time. Then he stopped writing for the literary scene because he learned his lesson and 'people understand me so little they dont even understand my complaints they don't understand me' and focused on writing for the single individual who wished to discover the meaning of his life's work.

and he even pretends to be a judge in volume II and reprimands himself essentially. Kierkegaard really is the greatest

The more I read of this man the more I’m stunned by how bafflingly next level he was.
