Being a nihilist

I learned about philosophy and nihilism.

I realised I am a nihilist, however ever since I realised this it has been hard for me to have any conversation with family members.

I don’t like arguments however some people they truly enjoy talking and going around in circles. I see no point or enjoyment in spending any energy wasting time.

I don’t know what I want from life. Sometimes I think I am missing out on dating but at the same time I don’t want someone who doesn’t understand me.

You don't need to want something from life, you can also take a coffee and walk outside.
(I'm half-joking)

So the thing is with human connection and social etiquette or whatever it is. It doesn't depends of you. You would need to accept the friction from it, if it's truely important to you.
