I just finished reading Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and it was an amazing book that matched a theme of what I’m looking for in the books I want to read. He struggles with being abandoned throughout his life, by friends that he was extremely close to and in a sense, the book follows him healing from these senses of loss.
I want to watch a character experience depression and loneliness, and be heavily effected by not feeling normal, or have trouble relating to others, not feeling as if they have a place in the world and are weird, misshapen.
I also have the book “no longer human” in my possession, and want to read as many books with lonely, depressed protagonists as I can.

I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Sehee, translated from the Korean by Anton Hur (memoir)
Till We Have Faces by CS Lewis. Nothing like his other books.
