You’re not missing out by not going to a bar or brewery bro. That’s all that’s out there in my area. Oh also Pez Museum and Dr. Seuss Museum but literally who gives a fuck to go inside those places.
>>
You haven't missed as much as you think. My friends who set up families etc look fucking dead in the eyes. They live for that Saturday night out where the third beer is already too much. FB/Instagram peeks into the so called LIFE are a fucking lie.

I would read this and it would make me cry.

You mainly miss out on real-world social practice (friends, dating, conflict), work experience and identity building, everyday independence and responsibility and feedback and variety that shape confidence and a stable sense of self.

i mean pretty much every book is something you are not experiencing so whats the point in getting so meta

You've read enough. Time to party and get laid.

>Twenty-two months are a long time and a lot of things can happen in them- there is time for new families to be formed, for babies to be born and even begin to talk, for a great house to rise where once there was only a field, for a beautiful woman to grow old and no one desire her any more, for an illness- for a long illness- to ripen (yet men live on heedlessly), to consume the body slowly, to recede for short periods as if cured, to take hold again more deeply and drain away the last hopes; there is time for a man to die and be buried, for his son to be able to laugh again and in the evening take the girls down the avenues and past the cemetery gates without a thought. But it seemed as if Drogo’s existence had come to a halt. The same day, the same things, had repeated themselves hundreds of times without taking a step forward. The river of time flowed over the Fort, crumbled the walls, swept down dust and fragments of stone, wore away the stairs and the chain, but over Drogo it passed in vain- it had not yet succeeded in catching him, bearing him with it as it flowed.

Probably still worth going to once in a blue moon. At least the Seuss one.

>>25325673
I would rec adventure stories. The classic ones. Even around the world in 80 days. Just get out there lad.

>>25325914
Telling not showing is gay and good authors have never fallen for piece of shit advice like that.

i second this.

hilarious to believe you're missing out on life and then, instead of reading as much as you can about life, reading about a guy exactly like you and his miserable shut-in existence.

Also you're not missing much, I finally had sex and came in a cute girls mouth and it was underwhelming and a huge waste of time

If it were 30 or 40 years ago when socializing with your peers was actually both fun and productive, then yeah, you missed out. Now, when you can't go outside without getting hit by a doordash pajeet on a moped, you're better off just staying a neet and jerking off to elden ring porn or whatever.

I've seen people talk about Sadly, Porn for years, but I've never read it. What is it even about? If you say "porn" and nothing else I'll kill you

the inability to act, and the desire for a tyrant to relieve you of your agency even as you say otherwise

It's worth the read. It's a way of thinking that will surprise, boggle and puzzle you. There's no comparable book.
They say it's based on Lacan, but it's much clearer than Lacan.
It's like reading Dante and thinking: am I this asshole he's talking about?

A Gentleman in Moscow which is about a life long shut in but actually has manners so he'll teach you the proper way to behave in society should you choose to rejoin it
