TL;DR

Like the average Internet troll, the lead character in Dostoevsky's "Notes From Underground" has an acute level of consciousness, which allows him to perceive every thought, action, and event from every conceivable angle. A potential product of this acute consciousness is having life's tragedy, and people's indifference to it, wreck your soul. Another potential product is the exaltation that one receives through suffering, exemplified to the greatest extent by people like Viktor Frankl and Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn.
