Imagine writing some gay shit like that in your novel. He probably killed himself out of shame.

In the sense that perpetual, crippling depression gets old quite quickly, I suppose so.

he killed himself cuz life is friggen cringe. i found a weird hack tho. when u smoke weed it's like it front loads all cringe and compresses into a few hours so u spend the night in a cringe doom loop, but when u wake up the next ur like mellow as shit and the cringe is still and quiet for up to a couple days. u gotta blaze some dank ass dispensary shit tho.

I sometimes wonder if Michael Jackson's estate had him killed because he definitely would have been Harvey Weinstein'd by now.

>self-consciousness
Wrong. He had a lack of insight that triggered his depression, with his reality not matching his narcissistic expectations. This can be seen in his writing in that he could not comprehend his own thoughts and emotions, praising bureaucracy and over analysing everything except himself. He was a schizophrenic with anosognosia and everyone was afraid to say he was psychotic.

Imagine the economic losses if MJ were as canceled as Weinstein. You wouldn't be able to play his music in grocery stores, commercials, etc. The royalties are worth billions.

You... know this is a literature board, right? That the "if" can be made certain in its positive or negative by... /reading/ what he wrote, both in essays and fiction.

His psychiatric medication of choice (Nardil) stopped working. To go from being highly functional and productive, back to being majorly depressed, I get it.

His late work shows the lack of insight into his condition and borderline faggots like you enabled his delusions. If that's all you have to say on the matter you're as fucking moron. Infinite Jest was a massive red flag he wasn't well and you faggots larped on, declaring him the fucking Messiah.

Fuck off dumb ass.

I don't read to confirm that the author is a sane and well-adjusted individual. His suicidal depression has nothing to do with my enjoyment of the works he authored. He died when I was 14 years old, lol.

It was all of these reasons. My personal theory is he was beginning to realize the God shaped hole in his life. He was seeing, however dimly, that Jesus Christ is real, and laying down your life for Him is scary. I sincerely hope he found God in his last moments.

You can see threads of this in his work. He talks a lot about worship as an agnostic, he mentions C.S. Lewis in an interview, and the Pale King has a Christian character which is quite profound.

He was a Mennonite and not at all agnostic. His views on religion and his belief is all over his writing. Lane Dean Jr is everything he saw wrong with faith, it is not those who do not believe but those that mistake belief for an identity and Lane Dean Jr does and as most of the 4chan larpers do.

It was probably the atheism. Atheism is a suicidal death cult that destroys lives and entire peoples. Cutting yourself off from God means complete extinction.

For the complete opposite of atheists, look at Muslims. Heck, even the Amish. People who have no problem with maintaining the will to live and reproducing as well.
