Natalies 6th Reaction

Overall I very much enjoyed the book, I found it interesting and applicable to my life. (I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing). The narrator has a weird superiority complex, he constantly believes that he is smarter and better than everyone else, but at the same time he hates himself. This is seen throughout the novel when the narrator goes from stages of confidence to complete doubt. He sees and judges other people, and comments how he is greater then them because he is smarter. Later a small detail will cause him to be full of doubt, and go off on a tangent. What was once a good quality (his consciousness) will be described negatively. I felt like the entire novel was an attempt to validate his opinions and worth, I believe this is why he constantly addresses the reader. He constantly asks them questions, and tells them that what they think are wrong. I think because he keeps thinking so much he needs to write down all his thoughts because that is the only way to validate their worth. Overall he reminded me of an angst-y teenager.
