Many become nihilistic when what they value in life is not the reality on the screen of their lives. Sometimes it is in relation to others such as friends, work, women, etc., other times it is in relation to themselves internally and personally. Look at both and ask yourself what do you value and is what you value a reality in your life?
If what you value has changed due to your experiences and understanding of reality and the world in which you live, go back to your original dreams and see if those have changed or if you are even dreaming…literally or figuratively, secondly go back and review the origin of your values or value system.
Nihilism can be a type of cognitive or emotional dissonance. If what one values has not changed one can be failing to live up to those values personally and needs to change his actions or if others are failing to live up to his values, he need to change with whom he interacts and or how he interacts with them…whatever ones values might be.
Bottom line is change your values, change your actions, change your world to include those with whom you interact so there is an alignment between these three things.
