Hey,
I know there have been several posts similar to this but stay with me for a second…
I have been in therapy for 2 years and today I finally scratched an important piece of myself.
My therapist said to me I look outwards for validation and self worth in all the spaces career, health, love but now it has also invaded my passions and hobbies. I do it to cope with my loneliness and seek comfort, relaxation and relief.
I don't want book recommendations which are non fiction guides or something powerful memoirs. I have read many of them and I still feel hollow.
But I want book recommendations which have similar characters or plots. Mostly fictional any genre would do. Even a good memoir which isn't on the nose? I know this has been an issue for long time as I resonate a lot with lonely characters who are powerful but yes they don't have life outside of that arc. So yes, something that I could not only feel seen by but also where characters or story manages to help break this loop.
Also, I'm doing well guys, nothing worrisome.
