Living like nothing matters is NOT a concept of stoicism. Can you please read something before you open your mouth?
No. Bottling your feelings is the concept of stoicism. If you are genuinely able to not care about anything that is upsetting you then sure it works fine but for most people it just encourages them to suppress their feelings and ignore their problems which only leads to things getting worse.
you know,i have no idea what the hell is going on here since i just did a quickread and my head is a mess today,but you folks gotta accept that some things works with one and some doesnt i guess or something
Im out of this thread. Its like a fucking gathering place for the pathetic and the hopeless. Being a nihilist is for edgy teens and basement dwellers and isnt compatible with living a full life.
as an employee at the public university, I know that not every graduating student has acquired "education" but a paper stating so instead
Perhaps you should be working at a more prestigious university then.
because I'm a 20 year old girl and i know stuffs
All I know is what mainstream psychology will tell you. CBT, self betterment and proper relationships are the major solutions to depression. Not pretending your problems dont exist or life is meaningless which compounds how you feel instead of addressing it properly.
When I was younger I suffered from very severe mental health problems which lead me to have suicidal tendencies and self harm habits. etc. but proper management of my condition as well as medical help lead me to become a much more stable person. I honestly think that suppressing how i felt or ignoring the problems at hand would have resulted in my death.
I duno what those isms mean. But someone said thinking that there’s no meaning can help. Yes I think so too. It’s just different ways of thinking. Everyone has something to conform to their worldview that prevents everything they do from becoming meaningless.
i always thought people who asked "what is the meaning of life" to be dumb and it really doesnt make sense. Like obviously theres no deeper "meaning" to being alive we are just born like the animals and just happen to be way more intelligent than everyone else. Also i dont really see how thinking theres no meaning helps anything and sure if youre stupid enough to believe theres some deeper meaning maybe that wont make you depressed but tbh if u can think like that i doubt you would even be able to be depressed ever
It’s just a way of thinking. It’s not wrong or bad to think there’s no meaning (since there isn’t). If that doesn’t make you suicidal. It also isn’t wrong to want to attribute meaning and purpose to life. Both are part of the human experience.
Just to clarify. I didnt mean that there is a deeper meaning to life because the sad truth is that we are born to die. Life is meaningless and we were put here by chance.
What I was saying was thay since life has no innate meaning it is best to create meaning by finding things that matter to you... be it people, hobbies, goals or objects. Life is best when you have reasons to live and things that bring you joy, not by telling yourself everything is meaningless.
As for the stupid gender debate. Men and women are virtually the same. There are certain behaviours which are more common in different genders but there is no difference in the intelligence of men and women nor is there a difference in how they would like to be treated by others. Whilst it could be said that the average man is phyically stronger than the average woman this doesnt mean that women want to be submissive or want a strong man for protection. On the contrary, strong men are more likely to make me feel unsafe than protected.

sounds an awful lot like one of the "isms" mentioned here

nihilism itself doesn't prescribe anything, but optimistic nihilism asserts that since there's no higher or "true" meaning to life, you are free to define your own and live by it
since the only context in which nihilism was discussed before parma stormed into the thread was *optimistic* nihilism, i assume she was taking a jab at it
unless she didn't read the thread/wasn't aware of the concept and just got triggered by the word nihilism :)
kids below age <24 have no meaning of life unfortunately. but after u reach your 24th year youll get some divine inspiration regarding the meaning of life so stay tuned until then.
hilism itself doesn't prescribe anything, but optimistic nihilism asserts that since there's no higher or "true" meaning to life, you are free to define your own and live by it
But this concept is flawed. Being a nihilist is not compatible with finding finding meaning because a true nihilist would tell you that there is none. By attaching meaning to things you are transcending nihilism.
Look. I actually did some research of my own becuase the concepts were conflicting and weird and it doesnt help that nobody seems to agree what nihilism is. Some people are saying that a nihilist believes there is no purpose or reason to be on any level, be it universal or even fabricated. Other people however seem to hold the belief that there is no inherent purpose to life and therefore fabricating purpose is a core part of nihilism. The thing is by that definition I would be a nihilist as would most rational people, yet I would never think of myself as being a nihilist.
And yet some people on this forum would have you believe that girls are naturally less intelligent so I will take what you said as a back handed compliment about us being of superior intelligence
Also I found a forum where you guys can discuss how great being a nihilist is ---> http://boards.4chan.org/r9k/
i though u were leaving this thread?
parma failed her education, so sad

cool, bye

Imagine imagining
i live so i can watch avengers endgame

I was honestly more interested in the gender debate though.

Real TriHard hours anyone?
sounds an awful lot like one of the "isms" mentioned here
Which one ?
take a guess
Some quick reading of wiki describes it as just denial of any inherent meaning etc. Doesn’t seem to prescribe anything else after that

summary of the thread evolution on internet
do you not understand the difference between
and
?????
Of course. What i am saying is the top one is not true nihilism whereas the bottom one is
ure a fucking moron
by this point it's an empirically established fact
Lmfao
This is a pretty classic case of wilful miscommunication but whatever.
News flash: People have a difference of opinions on an internet forum
there is very little place for opinions when discussing well-known and establised philosophical directions but whatever
news flash(lol): parmaviolets is an ape and has no idea what shes talking about
Im not the one saying that you can assign purpose to life and still be a nihilist lmao
of course you can you fuckiadfhad789hd8971h7893h28dh12397289d3891h791
fuck off

finally some steps toward right direction
lmao
Mfw you realise Parma is actually a guy in disguise because most girls aren't as w33tarded as he/she/it is
And yet some people on this forum would have you believe that girls are naturally less intelligent so I will take what you said as a back handed compliment about us being of superior intelligence
stupid toxic masculinity repressing female video gamers smh
Nah I dont see myself as repressed. If I did I wouldnt comment on threads like these
you go girl!!
All of this sarcasm ;-;
