I hear a lot of people talking about their positive reactions to Stoner. Personally the book really put me in an empty place.

Journey to the end of the night
Book of disquiet
Such an insane looking PIC. Really describes how I felt for a while after an ACID trip.
If anyone else relates to this PIC BTW, then look up derealisation/depersonalisation

Yeah, GR is great for that. It makes me think about how funny everything is and to not take life so seriously.

I've observed that effect in mindfulness meditation. That loop can go on forever.
It's pretty calming to me now, knowing
that the innate self is never to found even
in the intense deconstruction of our existence.

Blood Meridian.
It's so hopeless and dark.

I feel like that whenever I do well in social situations I'm anxious over. Once I get into them, regardless of whether I do well or not, mostly when I do alright, it's like OP's pic and when it's over I can barely even remember what happened. I've had exams like that as well, I've practically forgotten what grade I got right after I left the room. Both exams that went shit and ones where I aced. It's an abstract kind of feel.
Babby mode, but 1984
