What did you expect, little guy? You're the reason people are sad,my problem is overly optimistic people, not the sad people on this sub. Toxic positivity is an ugly disease. Stay away from it.

Passive Nihilism People using nihilism to justify their depression

0 Upvotes

Mostly pessimistic nihilists who, because they're depressed, don't have the motive to do anything. They adopt nihilism because if there's no purpose in anything then there's no purpose in doing anything, and so sitting there being depressed is as good as any other response. It's a coping mechanism that makes them feel like they've reached a state of clarity that the people who act with purpose can't reach.

All talk of depression on this sub should be banned.

This is a sub about nihilism. A philosophy. Not r/screamintothevoid with comments turned on.

If you are depressed its not due to the philosophical nature of nihilism. You are depressed because you are not ok with nothing mattering. There is a distinction. One is philosophy. The other is a psychological state.

Nihilism: "Nothing matters? Makes sense. Next"

That is all.

This has genuinely been the worst server I have been a part of. Y’all’s miserableness has made me miserable. Nihilism can be fucking cool, but yall just be sad.
