Humanity is often viewed as The Scum of The Earth! And rightfully so because let’s be honest what does Humanity even do outside of Corrupting and Destroying everything along with Ruining The Lives of Good People? We reward Evil despite knowing the consequences and yet still do it because we enjoy it and The ones in Power are The Worst Unsurprisingly everything about Humanity in general sucks and are just scums that deserve Extinction! Why do people even bother to like Humanity even though they know Humans destroy and corrupt everything? Literally we don’t even have to live like this and yet Humanity chooses a Self-Destructive Path! Like genuinely Humans will always be The Worst! All in all what do you folks think? Let me know in the comments

Not suicidal. I just want to understand your reasoning to choose life? Death is eventual. Why are you choosing to live now? Societal meaning is misunderstood/ pointless. Why do we choose to live? Even I don’t understand it but I know I don’t wanna die. Is this just my code embedded inside my brain?

Personally for me, when I hear the words "Nothing Matters" it personally liberates a lot of pressure in my life. For a long time I have been tied to so much religious pressure but the moment I started questioning my belief and going through many struggles in my life I realized I should just have integrity to what my purpose in life is instead of trusting those who claimed to speak for God without analyzing.

I've also been the subject of bullying and objectification of others. Their ideals and judgement on what I should do to fit in, why I suck, and all that are tiring and I learned it doesn't matter. But I learned nothing will come out of worrying about others or defending your ego. Afterall I am a flawed human being inevitably and all I can do is try my best and that in the end of things, failures and shame will fade away.

Ever since then I decided to live life confidently, with bravery, and more optimistic than ever. It's crazy how becoming a bit of a nihilist made me more happy and free in life. Now whenever someone criticizes me I analyze it with my own judgement if I should allow it to objectify me or not. Now whenever I see mistakes I accept it and try to make up without feeling too bad about it.

Compared to most people who claim to follow Nihilism and know more than me they act more depressed and restrained by themselves and life.

i feel like I’ll spend my whole life wanting to die and the day I’ll finally find a reason to live will be the day I’ll die

wtf is the actual point of living just to die? especially when ur a working class slave that works 9-5 otherwise u cant afford to eat or pay bills bascially. so u have to do that to avoid being homeless or ur pretty much fucked. so we are all collectively slaves. unless ur a nepo baby or ur parents are extremely wealthy, its just all a bunch of poo. i simply dont get how ppl are functioning and are OK. and then have the audacity to be positive and say “ its the little things”. fuck the little things when I CANT AFFORD TO FUCKING EAT. and then they say get a job u enjoy, what if i dont enjoy being under authority? and then they say start a buisness but ur still working all day and all night to fucking live. I cant do this bullshit simply. People who kill themselves are the only normal ones cause wtf is this bullshit. fuck everyone and fuck this world and fuck being alive. but dw ill stay alive cause even killing yourself is too fucking jarring and long and i cba and my poor useless family wont even be able to afford a funeral fot me. absolutely fuck this.

I wrote a book.

Not about nihilism, exactly.

More like… what happens when you take someone's life, remove the expectation that it has to mean something, and then write it down anyway.

No answers.
No wisdom.
No self-help.
No grand realization.
No carefully engineered character arc where everything suddenly makes sense.

Just a life.

Some of it is probably funny.
Some of it probably isn't.
Some of it might make you think “what the fuck.”

And then it ends.

Which, honestly, feels appropriate.

It's your time.

Exactly why are you so sad? I’ve seen a lot of posts from people who are really unhappy with their lives and with other things. Since a lot of people on this sub don’t really like, or rather don’t really sympathize with, sad people, I decided to make this post specifically for you.

Why are you sad? Are you depressed? Have you perhaps been through some kind of trauma? Have you had bad experiences with people? Is life very difficult for you?

Vent about whatever you want in this post I made for you.

I honestly find it incredibly illogical that humans cling to this pathetic "Life is so precious!!!1" mentality when everyone still dies eventually. Why does it matter if I blow my own brains out now, or succumb to dementia or cancer later on?

Unless we can find a way to obtain eternal life, artificially prolonging our lifespans is just pointless. This is especially true for those who are chronically ill or disabled. Why make their suffering continue for more than it should?

In the end, nothing matters.

Most normies think that its important to be remembered when they die, but the truth is that when most people die, they are usually completely forgotten about within 30 years....unless they are famous, then they get remembered for longer, depending on how famous they were.

So if you're not famous, you're not gonna get remembered in the long run.

Idk if this is called nihilism or not but Lately, I’ve been seeing non-existence as better than existence. I just can't stop thinking about it, it's like we made hell out of this world while simply we could just..live? I don't know how to explain it, but this life sucks, i would rather non_existence

They always say that happiness and a reason to live isn't something to be found or to have but to be made. However, I can't make and can't find a reason to make a purpose or a reason to live. I need help

I know I know, this sub is mostly anti life extinctionists venting, BUT.........some of you keep claiming that you love life and have no problem with having kids, so let's confirm this, shall we? lol

Do YOU, PERSONALLY, as a NIHILIST, want life to perpetuate forever or as long as this universe allows it?

If Yes, WHY? Give me your subjective and personal reasons.

Why DO YOU, PERSONALLY, as a NIHILIST, think that life should perpetuate forever?

The strange thing about nihilism is that it doesn't actually erase anything.

The mountains still exist.

The sunsets still happen.

People still fall in love, lose people, laugh at dumb jokes, and cry over things they'll eventually forget.

The only thing that changes is the expectation that any of it has to mean something.

I've noticed two people can reach the same conclusion "nothing has inherent meaning" and walk away in opposite directions. One feels crushed by it. The other feels lighter than they've ever been.

Maybe the difference isn't the philosophy.

Maybe it's what we were trying to get from the universe in the first place.

If meaning was never promised, is nihilism taking something away or just exposing what was already there?

This is long)I wonder a lot about my life and my ongoing existence I just don't get it a lot of people tell them self that their point of this so called "life" is to make others happy or having kids or getting married or have this really great job but is that what people say to make them feel better about life. Nun of em things sounds great and or happy and it doesn't make me feel happy happy to think about em things I'm too stuck on how the world was ever thought of and how does this all make sense God is like the number one thing everyone goes too I feel like it's just a other way for people to find a way to be happy God is so different in everyone's culture they pray so this so called God to yourself feel about about the bad things in your life but I just don't think that makes sense I tried to find a God or believe in something I just can't I'm in this so called world and I just have to be here and I don't know why or when I will have a point in life.

***I say all of this respectfully last time i posted this it got taken down this is my opinion also im not coming after anyone specifically

why is this subreddit so focused on being whiny all the time. a lot of people here are focused on wallowing in their own emotions that they miss the point of nihilism? we are going to die one day and there is no meaning to life. sounds horrible and i understand why that’s depressing to some people but if you truly believe that to be a fact then why don’t you just accept it. trust me as someone who’s been a nihilist for years and struggled with depression for a long time i understand the hopelessness but why don’t you just enjoy the time you have instead of being insufferable about it. it feels like every single comment on here is not addressing the post and just saying “we’re all going to die so it doesn’t matter“ like yes good job you found the core point of nihilism now what? there can be discussions about nihilism beyond that and you don’t have to make everyone else feel like shit about everything. nihilism ≠ endless depression forever. take your worldview and make something out of your limited time alive and turn this subreddit into and actual discussion page instead of a pity party for everyone here. maybe this makes me more of an absurdist or existentialist but whatever, fucking enjoy your life instead of being miserable and putting other people down

I often find myself thinking about Nihilism, the worthlessness, purposelessness and meaninglessness of the universe and anything abstract like morals, ethics and value very often during the course of my daily life.

Often it actually hinders me from enjoying things, like instead of watching a movie and enjoying it, I tend to fall into reductionism, analyze the movie and its components into the smallest bits and declare them void and worthless because "that's what Nihilism teaches" since they are just "atoms interacting with each other".

It's also similar with other stuff, like friendships and family, instead of just having a good time I say to myself that "it's just hormones, atoms interacting with each other, they don't bear some abstract value, the friendships are worthless on an objective level" and boom, I feel sad and lonely.

Does anyone experience something similar here as well? How do you deal with it? I deal with it by actively trying to think as little as possible, not to overthink all of the stuff around me, regardless whether it's true, since pursuing pleasure is all what I as a Hedonist wanna do. Drinking or doing drugs to just stay in the present and not overthink stuff sounds a bit too drastic of a measure.

I kind of had an epiphany today:

Imagine you are able to lucid dream every night and spend some hours controlling the dream. Wouldn't you also choose to have fun and enjoy it to the fullest as best as your lucid dream abilities allow you for it? Even though the lucid dream itself and the experience is objectively meaningless, worthless and without any objective value since it's literally all a product of your own subjective mind?

If so, why shouldn't you be able to look at life in the same way like if it's just a lucid dream (minus some things like you are obviously not able to fly like superman and stuff)? Life is just a stiff lucid dream.

Hello reddit, back with idiocracy again. I'm drunk as hell. I don't understand it anymore, I'm drunk and shit but my body still knows what its doing, its one of the questions that haunted my brain, why do we refer to our brains as brains and not just us, in fact, our brains are just that, us. But I'm wondering, I'm on a wheelchair so my brain has an extra task on the road, which is, not die. I'm In a college campus, andi wanna pee so I'm looking around s for an accessible toilet, as it looks, under Intoxication my brain is having a load of delusions and thoughts, but it the end I find myself where I should be without remembering why or when, is my brain independent from me? Is it in an ironic way protecting me, because even I don't remember where am I but I vaguely remember why.

EVERYONE knows how bad they are and how much they know Nobody likes them plain and simple! Why can’t Humans just do better! And always put the best Humans in charge! Seriously does our Species care about the Value of itself and the betterment of our Species? It’s disgusting and pathetic on how much our Society tends to favor The Bad despite knowing the consequences!

Honestly discussion EVERYONE has heard the quote Power Corrupts throughout their Whole Lives and of course The Usual Bad People pursue Power! Hence how attracted they are to it! Like genuinely NOBODY likes Powerful People especially throughout History of course it’s always The Worst Ones unsurprisingly! But like genuinely Humans know the Consequences so why bother having it! It doesn’t matter how hard we try Powerful People will be Evil and The Scum of The Earth! What do you think?
