As an atheist I a hundred percent agree with the fact that religion is a subconscious solution to nihilism. We created it to trick ourselves from the existential dread.
I constantly bounce between life is meaningless (happy) to life in meaningless (depressed). Right now I am stuck in the second one and it’s deeply disturbing and dark
Nihilism is the last feeling before accepting that we’re just here to experience the world. Look for the beauty, walk in the bush, lay on the ground, watch birds, swim in a river, climb something.
Maladaptive daydreaming has been my only way I cope. I almost feel like I’m not actually living
Nihilism was my life for the majority of 2024, which culminated in a moment when I came close to ending my life in December. I was on track to doing better but I’ve found myself back on that path these last few months. It’s really hard to find a reason to keep going, but I try my hardest to keep going
For me it was a shift to absurdism that changed it all. embracing the infinite nature of reality and looking for the absurd in the mundane makes me so happy. I live for new experiences.
have you considered positive nihilism :D nothing matters so you might as well have a great time lol
nihilism and existentialism are similar but nihilism gives up, while existentialism fights back.
I realized I fall into nihilism as a protective response to the idea of putting myself out there and risking rejection or failure
Love youself more. You yourself is your priority, period. If you havent already started reading, definitely read Healing Isn't Pretty by Mira Hartson
I just don’t think nihilism is something that needs to be cured. It’s a direct reaction to the world around you. Especially under capitalism.
Try nihilism with poverty/disability/chronic pain. There’s no reason to live and the effort to keep living requires continuous and inescapable suffering.
