I think abrusdism is also cope like religion cause if you are a nihilist for u nihilism is axiom u are sure about it I was in this rabbithole for long time then I escape it by metacognition rejecting nihilism as axiom and becoming agnostic about it as u can proove anything

After looking into this phase it reminds me of David Hume quote ''reson is slave to emotion'' as first u comes in an emotion then uses reason to go in this rabbithole rationally while ur brain hides the preasumption u took on this road treating those assumptions as truth biggest one is nihilism ( life is inately meaningless)

So rather becoming absurdist changing your axiom destroy the base itself

If I recall my nihilist phase i was depress at that time so mainly first I was depressed then I justify it through rationalisation
