Knausgaard's book about Hitler is perhaps the most empthetic depiction I've found- delves into his adolescence & his later revisioned mythologizing of the time. He was very similar to the stereotypical "NEET" of our day, & was wracked with nearly crippling social anxiety.

It's been enjoyable for him to deflate the biographies that depict him as "pure evil" from birth, in which his adolescent romanticism is cast as "parasitic indolence." Really, he's very similar to Lovecraft- both sacrificed food for culture. H- the opera; L- his letters.
