Nihilism is about one's personal relationship with reality. It's profoundly intimate. So much so that there's no faculty for "leading" or "following". Most use the idea to justify other ideas and it doesn't really work for that because the other ideas are considered "superior". Superior enough to trash the whole of existence if one doesn't feel he/she has the freedom - i.e. "permission" - to have those ideas.

Nihilism isn't comforting from the common perspective that says "everything is worthless" and plants a flag in that. It just stops there - assuming one is actually even "there" and not just parroting the popular excuse it's used as. There's actually a whole world beyond it, right there for the exploring, but who keeps going?

The point is, it's personal. To go down that path one has to have an honest interest in it and that's not something you can "give" to somebody else. Especially when one's attention is all tied up and boxed in with something like "dying".

Try this - nobody dies. Can you tell someone that? You actually know it, already, but you've compartmentalized the information to the extent that you keep them as far away from one another as possible so they don't clash with your beliefs. can you unbox them and let them stand next to one another? You're surrounded by people who don't see it. Can you live where you are and see it? Can you let go of beliefs?

Nobody dies.
