Nihilistic

People need to stop confusing nihilism with being pessimistic. They are different. You can't be "unhealthily nihilsitic". Expecting the fall of humanity and our lifetime being pointless can be a positive way of life.

If you are just depressed and think life is not worth living, you are not a nihilist. Stop abusing the word.
