What are some good books about coming to terms with isolation? Actually I'll take any recommendations because the only "important" books that I've read have been The Bell Jar, Don Quixote, and Brave New World.
I like to think I know a good deal about film, music, history, politics, and runway fashion. I've purposely been avoiding this board for a while but I feel like it's time.

>good books about coming to terms with isolation
Try Robinson Crusoe.
The book I am going to suggest has a very off putting title, but - bear with me.
Bertrand Russell, Conquest of Happiness
Do give it a shot.
Don't let the title discourage you.
It is not some Paulo Coelho "feel-good" crap; Russell has extremely dry sense of humor.
For instance, his book of essays, "Unpopular essays", is called so simply because they never went popular - not because they are "politically incorrect", as one might be inclined to assume.
Just... go give it a shot.
Buying it now thanks user

Who is this qt?
>Having someone to bake you a cake
Ree, etc
He's the author of the famed canonical work, "My Diary: Desu"
hot.
well if you could bake the cake you would certainly not be in such a situation.
the cake is the symbolic phallus that is castrated when the mom slices it and gives it to the boy to eat, in a sort of cannibalistic ritual of psychological union of the minds of the participants. this prevents the developing mind of the kid to emerge into an autonomous self, to be instead relegated to the role of a psychological prosthesis acting as a phallus to the mom, who hates herself for not being a male or simply who is trying to equilibrate some past trauma of her own hindered development.

Poor effort
When you are turning 18, I'll bake a cake for you, user.

I don't get it. I had friends when I was in my teens and I hung out with them, and for my 18th birthday I just asked my mom to get a lot of chicken and ground beef and I grilled up some chicken and cheeseburgers for her and I. Had a beer and stayed home. I didn't tell my friends it was birthday at all (though I got some birthday texts) and just ate a shitload of food.
It was probably my best birthday, honestly. Didn't have to go out and get annoyed. My previous birthday ended up with one of those Mexican hats and cake on my face which was pretty stupid.
I enjoyed staying in with my dog and my mom.
You enjoyed it because you chose it.
>dat feel when green drank
>dat feel when Mom got you abridged version of Zettel's Traum and you can wait to read it while eating cheesy poofs
I liked Osamu Dazai, its not quite just isolation
A General Theory of Oblivion is good
The Vegetarian too

Theres nothing wrong with having birthdays with your family
It feels more comfy.
Yes, but not if you don't have any friends otherwise, then it just makes you remember how much of a loser you are
Birthdays are dumbo anyway.
Why celebrate the slow creep of mortality?
I guess because you are one more year alive? But actually is because for having fun and sharing with people
I stopped celebrating my birthdays at about age 16. Probably stopped caring about them long before that.
I dunno, 20 is a pretty lame birthday anyway. No new privileges worth mentioning, if you're in college the days of nearly compulsive socializing that came with freshman year have been lost to people actually having work to do, and you aren't old enough to legally drink (if burger) so nobody is at the very least excited to get you legally drunk for the first time. And then 21 is the last really exciting brithday.
Pushing that meme so hard is why you're friendless.
Its the year when you're no longer a teenager, so it puts what you achieved up to date in context
Your birthday is a reminder of the worst day of your life.
If you liked this post, you're gonna love my diary!

Oh God, it really makes be feel bad looking at these poor souls.
Kafka is what you need to read.
NO LONGER HUMAN by Osamu Dazai.
