How do I become a Stoic?

Go to a hip university and socialize as long as you can until you cannot take it anymore and realize that stoicism is the only way to preserve your sanity.

No mentor or book needed.

be born with autism

Have sex with men

become addicted to opium

Hobble one of your legs.

Yes, but, it's still Veeky Forums. The best smelling turd in the world is still a turd.

Go for a walk, think about everything that has hurt you, that pissed you off, feel how little that has impact on you now. Turn that feeling not on teen apathy but to a mature understanding that nothing should make you lose your cool.
Abstain yourself from vices and try to practice sports or any kind of physical activity that is good for your body and let you free your mind.
Most importantly, remember that nobody ever becomes a ideal stoic, you have to always try, so prepare to fail a lot.

I lift weights, so there's a start. I don't think most of the things I do in spare time are vices because I'm depressed and have no interest in it. Would you recommend any literature? I've thinking of reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

I think that it's great that you already lift weights. I would only advise that you do sports not for the GAINZ meme and as a mean to get girls/boys/whatever but as an end in itself that is good for you.
As far as literature goes, you have, as you said, Marcus Aurelius and also Seneca and Epictetus, but my problem with them is that it's hard hard to relate to them and their writing, You could, of course, make an effort to extract the most you can from them, which will definitely happen. But after you read them I think the best books, that have good prose and are able to help, are Siddhartha by Hesse, Stoner by Williams and the collected poems of Ricardo Reis by Fernando Pessoa.

smoke that dank and stop giving a shit what people have to say

Absolutely. That's about 95% why I do it. The remainder is good for me in terms of making my my life easier in terms of socializing.

Literally impossible. The universe is deterministic you see. You either are or aren't already stoic. Don't worry though, since there's no sense in getting upset over things you cannot control.

what if you are determined to become a stoic later in life

good eye

it's not worth it. stoicism is pompous, smug asshattery that just boils down to an ugly shade of hedonism.

Lose so that you know what others have lost
Lose the appetite for gain, for excess, for more
Lose so much that you won't ever get it all back
Lose the freedom and ability to escape through death
