What is a book I can read to help me overcome my realization that I'm a fraud?
I'm specifically referring to saying you'll accomplish something but never doing it and putting off your hopes/dreams for so long until you realize you don't care anymore.
You aren't a fraud, you're procrastinating indefinitely. That isn't fraudulent, it's lazy. Chances are, you know you don't have talent and so are afraid to even start something.
You special snowflake baby bitch.

either enlighten me or kill me

Nobody cares enough to do either.
Do it yourself. Or don't.

seeing how this is the literature board I'd like some literature recommendations to coincide with the way I'm feeling

I haven't read it, but Oblomov seems to match your case. Or maybe it would depress you more.
Either way, good luck anon.

Good Old Neon
>>7894754
Anyone know where i can buy this book?
>>7894827
Have you read it? Good Old Neon is about someone who succeeds to impress others, basically. OP hasn't accomplished a fucking thing.
>>7894827
I wanted to like this but ultimately couldn't relate at all to this person who was successful but unhappy. I've never failed to appreciate the touch of a girl's breast, or fulfillment from my good job, etc...

a book was on a table in my house recently: the achievement habit, by bernie roth
i wouldn't say it's "good" and to be quite honest, my family, i continued reading after my cautious opening of it because he uses example from his everyday life and he seems to be good at being a professor, and i like little tricks for being better
but the book itself has all kinds of methods for basically not-being-such-a-faggot. kinds of things that most people would not admit to needing, but you, anonymously, of course, are admitting it, and so i recommend it to you
you don't need to "overcome" the realisation, but just stop being such a faggot
man is free the moment he wishes to be
you want to be a faggot, that's all there is to it
The only way I've sustained doing what I inwardly profess to be what 'I want to be about' is by making it impossible to do the things which are big impediments to it.
So I got rid of the internet and only had books and music available at home in my free time. I stopped jerking off 24/7 and did this for about a month and a half until I really felt a change in my subjective being.
Then I got randy af and took the bus back to my parent's house when they were out of the country and just best off for 6 hours saying it'd be a one off and I've been doing the same shit since for about 2 months.
In my experience the only way to get things done when you're constituted like this is to force you back against the wall and limit your ability to fuck around as effectively as possible.
One thing that may make this less bleak is to tell you that that month and a half really was the most memorable and enjoyable I've had since I got into this spiral of shit about 5 years ago. Lots of pain but lots of reward.
I have the experience now to know for sure that this comfy, quarter-assign of life is objectively worse and yet I'm stuck in it and will be until I ban myself from it entirely again. And this time I have to make it impossible to slip back, not just very hard.
Hope this helps. From how you sound (like me) this is likely the only way
Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet
First person fragments of a man with no friends, no lovers, shitty dead-end job and who writes breathtaking prose about clouds, the light in streets, not being able to feel, living only in his head, disillusionment, depression and non-existence.

I can't put it exactly into words, but look homeward, angel and the sequel were good books for me

>is about someone who succeeds to impress others and then kills himself
I think you're looking for Camus' Fall
>>7894884
I basically agree that you have to deliberately create an environment free of distractions to get anything done (that's how I wrote my first novel and how I'm writing my second) but while it's conducive to productivity, it won't necessarily get you where you want to be internally by itself. For that you need to talk to people who are similar enough to you for their introspective experiences to serve as a supplement to your own.
>>7894752
Stop feeling. That's your problem. Too much feeling. Start doing, stop feeling. If every you do is based on how you feel at a particular time, nothing will get done. Do, even if you don't feel like it.

Jesus Christ that really hit home.

Only difference is that Pessoa can write.
