i know its a bit of a juvenile philosophy, but ive been struggling with slipping back into this "nothing matters at all, why continue living" mindset for my entire life, and its come to a point where ive sabotaged every opportunity ive had.
Just here hoping that i can get some sort of coherent counter argument - what the actual fuck is the point of any of this bullshit and why shouldnt I just off myself? And how do so many people seem to get through life without constantly worrying that its all an enormous waste of energy?
Also damn forgot to crop that shit, good thing it doesnt matter i guess aha ha ha

Nothing juvenile about nihilism. It's that annoying thing that lurks in the background and won't go away for some people. It's unfalsifiable and that's what people find annoying, really.
Brayden Davis
If there is no meaning or value, then why even kill yourself? It wouldn’t matter either. Under nihilism, there would be no reason to do anything at all. But I’m sure there’s things in your life that you find value in.
Gabriel Brown
ever heard of romanticism? nothing matters, do whatever the fuck you want. you like feeling happy right? so keep doing what makes you happy. live life not giving a shit because youre insignificant and it doesnt matter
Grayson Mitchell
because you deserve better, OP? even if you think you don't, all you have to do is forgive yourself,. but "there is too much beauty to quit"
That's the thing nigga, nothing matters, so spend your time doing things you enjoy.

Here's what it is see, you're bored as fuck. Get competitive or curious. Get some answers to those questions we all have. No one knows why the fuck where here
Here's an example.
In the Christian Bible the snake gave eve the apple of knowledge
Likewise in Greek mythology it was Prometheus, a titan known for his "willy intelligence" who gave mortals fire/knowledge just like the apple.
The only difference is that Prometheus created the mortals. What does that say about Christianity?
Oliver Reed
life always gets better. u just gotta b patient user. hang in there buddy, ur not alone.

>Get competitive or curious How? This is advice along the lines of >just be confident >just think happy thoughts if you're depressed >have sex >get motivated >just have normal conversations >bro just do the thing you need help with simple as that
Christopher Young
It's an interesting idea and true I can't refute it but then how do we explain the order that appears to exist in the universe? From that order we have what we call laws in fields like physics.
The world exists from our point of view as we have created it and yet our civilization follows a pattern in the way it has shaped and reshaped itself for millennia. How can we explain this? Evolution and biology?
Juan Carter
That's not what romanticism is you fucking retard
Carter Moore
the question about mattering is "to whom?". "meaning" designates a subject's attitude toward an object. does the universe care about my happiness? no. the universe cannot care. hence if you take his standpoint in analysis, the natural conclusion is that nothing has meaning. because there is no ontologic meaning. and if there was, you'd still have to be convinced to follow it. luckily, you don't live the universe's life. you live yours. and from its standpoint, you being happy is the most important thing that is. so what changed with the rotting away of false and impersonal ontologic meaning? little. it's so simple one has to wonder how existentialists existed. >it's essentially meaningless to the universe, yes. but i'm not doing it for the universe. and i'm not doing it because some extrapersonal meaning compels me to. i am living for myself and those whom i love. it would be strange to me if me having a cup of coffee has some meaning when you abstract and eliminate my own person. but I really want one because I don't care about that.
You start by trying and understanding/enjoying the little things like the fuckin ants on the ground and you can do that by asking questions like what drives the ants to do so much for their queen. It's a respectable feat and us humans are only different because we wonder things like that. Just go out and think about all the different systems in nature. It's called transcendentalism. Good shit, we need it. Refer everything back to nature and reasoning and you won't even care why youre here. You may eventuality be glad you are after so long of doing so though see.
Instead of filling the time with pondering, seek fun.
Jose Russell
Personally theres a few things that I want to accomplish and I'm going destroy my brain with a bullet.
If you don't have a bucket list of shit that you want to see or do, by all means end this meaningless suffering.
Henry Murphy
>waste of energy See the energy is just doing it's thing being all energetic and you go and project an idea like "waste" onto it so you can be miserable.
theirs no point in killing yourself because you always kill yourself too late
Jaxson Johnson
Ah that’s just that teenage edgelord bullshit. A lot of people find happiness in nihilism. No meaning in the universe means you’re free to do whatever the hell you want. For example: no god? Well, no ass to kiss. Happiness is all that matters, everything else is just a big crock of bullshit.
