Anybody got any recommendations for more stuff like that? Something like this which I read quite recently was No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai. It’s a bit less philosophical than most other books like this (stuff like The Stranger by Camus) but still a very gripping book.
I never thought I’d be asking for book suggestions on a greentext community, but why the hell not
Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse was eye-opening and I remember reading as a profound experience. I know this sounds ridiculous but this book was the feeling you get when someone on a forum has the exact problem as you and explore it in depth.

Herman Hesse is drastically underrated in general IMO. so many great books. I enjoyed Siddharta and Glasperlenspiel (both in german).
I’m having trouble understanding Siddhartha but still having a good time reading it ;).
I’m not super privy to this new paradigm of spirituality he goes in depth into !
