Optimistic Nihilism

Finding comfort in the fact that everything is meaningless

Optimistic nihilism - “Life’s a pointless game. Nobody’s here for a reason and humanity itself is insignificant. Nothing is meant to be or set in stone. No one has a purpose to their life. It’s kind of comforting and freeing, you know.. really takes a weight off your shoulders” - C

Occupational Nihilism

To stop caring about your job so much that you no longer care if you get fired or not. Occasionally leads to hilarity in the workplace.

Billy had so much Occupational Nihilism that, for no reason, he didn't go into work one day. He did not tell anyone at the workplace that he wasn't going to come into work the day before, or the day that he failed to show up either.

Patsy's occupational nihilism gave him courage to show up to work in a cowboy hat.
