>Søren Kierkegaard broke off his engagement with Regine Olsen. He believed he was unfit for marriage due to his melancholic nature and a perceived "spectral" quality that he thought would make him a poor husband. Regine, deeply in love with Kierkegaard, fought against the decision, even pleading with him not to leave her, but he remained firm.
What are some books about self-sabotage and rejecting happiness?

Marriage can be a deep unhappiness as well. Especially if you are ambitious or have intellectual aspirations. If Kierkegaard had married he would probably cease to be productive or even interesting, because married life is the death of a man.

This man has never felt the touch of a woman. Sad

Wrong, but you will never feel the touch of a woman again after you get married

Extremely based and red-pilled. Every man should be like him.

King and emperors aren't productive or interesting, they just fund a bunch of shit and force everyone to give them credit
