Recently I had to leave the house a few times and everywhere I kept seeing young couples my age, the fact some young guys like me get to have a gf yet I'm a shut-in loser who can't talk to women has made me truly distressed to an existential extent, I've been through such maddening days because of this I think I'm going to lose my mind and do something stupid and irrational.
So what's the best way I can forget about my incel envy and go on be a shut-in loser with no worries like I was previously. Please just gimme advice on how I stay a loser and forgetting my sudden realization of my situation that has made me distressed.

| @LenRea Firstly you can stop labeling yourself as an Incel. Negative self-image becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. By wanting a girlfriend you're ignoring what you need for yourself. You can't love another person if you don't have some respect for yourself first. After that it will come naturally. I also suggest stop being a "shut-in loser" and get a social hobby. You're only distressed because your mind wants something it can't have because of a situation you have created for yourself: "shut-in loser" - just quit being one. |

| Doing Christmas shopping soon, I have a friend that reads a lot of horror genre novels (this isn't really my genre) - any suggestions for a few books to gift them? I'd imagine they have read all the most famous titles. |

| @Sad How about translated horror books from other countries? Different countries have different things, which they consider scary, different writing style. |

| @Forain Sounds good to me. What do you have in mind? I have to mention btw, they don't read manga/graphic novels/comics. |

| @Sad It's hard for me to give a concrete example, because I don't know which books are good and were translated in your language. But just typing in google, results are: https://www.google.com/search?q=most+scariest+books List has names of authors, from which you can surmise which ones are foreign. |

| @Sad was about to recommend a book from Glukhovsky but it isnt translated. What sort of horror do they read? I cant help with normal stuff, I could maybe give a recommendation for some fantasy/horror fusion Forain said: lmao googling tutorialBut just typing in google, results are: https://www.google.com/search?q=most+scariest+books |

| @Commit_Crime This "googling tutorial" immediately showed 51 scariest books. Titles are in English, so I can assume that they are translated. Some of them have foreign author names. So what is left is to choose translated scariest foreign book and see if it's sold in your shop or online. "Googling tutorial" is good for you. |

Commit_Crime said: @Sad was about to recommend a book from Glukhovsky but it isnt translated. What sort of horror do they read? I cant help with normal stuff, I could maybe give a recommendation for some fantasy/horror fusion So from my questions I peppered them with, they tend to like horror novels that have lone main character, rather than a group/duo leading. Also likes paranoia to be a central theme, with unreliable perspectives on what is happening (for instance, experiencing hallucinations/delusion) and the reader has to try and understand what characters are experiencing.

| @Sad I am so sad Сумерки from Glukhovsky isnt translated, I want to recommend it even more now since what you described fits it so well aaaaa :((( I dont read that much fiction and never was a lot into horror books. I dont know if recommending Robert Holdstock would be stupid... he is not popular here but since he's British, I guess he might be well known over where you live. Mythago Wood (his book, first in a great series) is not precisely horror, its more of a fantasy if but it just stuck with me all my life, its a lot about the collective unconscious, the woods fucking over one's psyche and isolation. I dont know if the average person would find it scary but when I first read it as a teen, it felt incredibly surreal because of how much I related my childhood woods to those woods described in the books. I think it ticks more of that "interesting" part of horror than the "scary" part.... Cant find other good recommendations in my bookshelves, I just have the classics here like Lovecraft and at that point Google can be a better guide than me lol |

| @Commit_Crime Haha through obscure questions I managed to figure out that he's already read Holdstocks novels ;__; thanks for trying bro |
