Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I find it hard to analyse my self in this way as I have D.I.D so what 'i' come up with is very likely a composite of a 'group/individual' that 'I' am not in touch with - Basically I don't know where me and other starts and ends. I would say I am all of those adjective s above and more , in a rotation

I was definitely an idealist, and "romanticism" was only one manifestation of that.
I was neither cynical nor nihilistic (not in the sense you probably mean it anyway) after my disillusionment from that. I suppose I am something of an absurdist, though.
Nihilism is just the understanding that there is no extrinsic meaning to life ... but you can certainly choose to have all the intrinsic meaning you want. What most people misunderstand to be nihilism is the hopeless notion that you can't have either kind of meaning or purpose.
