Do you guys ever get lonely when reading? It gets so quiet and, unless I am at an interesting plot point, I can't stop from feeling sad and pessimistic. I end up reading fewer than 25 pages per hour this way.
I guess this is part of the reason why few people read nowadays, silence can be hard to handle.
Wtf no

No. Although, sometimes, when I read if I see the word "love" "sad" dreams" or "suicide" I keep my eyes on that words and my mind goes around that words and stop the reading process. It's annoying.
Books make good companions, friendo. You should start reading better books, or at least work your way up, if you're reading books above your reading level.
>Silence can be hard to handle
Pleb as fuck

Have you tried not being a pussy? Seriously, man up and enjoy your solitude. Or go read in public. Idk.
time to start lifting anon
maybe you should start with fiction where plot is interesting before moving to books where the actual sentences are interesting.
never had that problem

I wouldn't say I'm as far gone as you OP, but this remidns me of a sad day.
I went to my city's central library on a sunny summer day and I ended up borrowing the savage detectives. It had this foreword that was the author talking about "when I was young all i did was fuck, drink, fight, blabla" and I instantly thought of myself going to the library where the old women roastie normies probably looked down on me for going there, where a vaguely attractive girl about ym age (21 or something) had probably never stepped foot inside, where it was dusty. It made me feel like a loser for reading. I still have no confidence or faith in reading.

is this pasta? I've seen it posted before. Or maybe this day is so important to you that you can't keep yourself from writing about it.
>>7531364
I wrote about it one or maybe at most twice before but it's not pasta.
Although if you've seen r9k tier stuff on /lit/ literally tens of times, then that was maybe me.
>>7528226
I'd say is the opposite for me.
I'm always lonely, but I forget about that when I'm reading - it takes me out of the place I live in, where I truly don't want to be.

Go rinse out your piss bottles
>>7528226
IMO it's a phase you need to get through. Like you need to let go of the world and others to get sucked into the books world.
