I have been this way for almost my entire life. Yes, I first started as a self-professed nihilist in the 1980s, when I was in my 20s, probably from reading the writings of German philosophers (Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Hegel, Hesse). It gained strength in the 1990s, when I realized that working hard does NOT provide me with anything substantial and that life really does NOT have any meaning. My nihilism continues to this day, and it will continue. Actually, I have been pessimistic about it, rather than optimistic. What I really am is a fatalist, which means "believing that people cannot change the way events will happen and that events, especially bad ones, cannot be avoided." I found that the results of my actions never aligned with my actual actions.
