I need a book where the protagonist willingly deprives himself of love, joy and friendship to live a miserable life and finds pleasure in this.

>and finds pleasure in this
Define "pleasure". If you mean actual happiness, then none, if you mean a weird state of self destructive joy, then maybe Notes from the Underground, but that will depend on your interpretation.

Maybe I'll leave my diary behind before my death.

My diary desu

The Age of Innocence desu

an ancient Greek school of philosophy founded at Athens by Zeno of Citium. The school taught that virtue, the highest good, is based on knowledge; the wise live in harmony with the divine Reason (also identified with Fate and Providence) that governs nature, and are indifferent to the vicissitudes of fortune and to pleasure and pain.

With that in mind you can look for a stoic that foots the bill

i feel you pal

Stoics didn't preach over self destruction, they mostly sought a way to remain in peace when the world and fortune come into play to ruin the small bubble world you maintain.
I think OP asks for the Notes from the underground.

You should be able to find the source if you use Google Books. It means "dumb" in the sense of "mute"; the picture is out of context.
