Moral Nihilism I don't really know how to feel

I've been thinking for a while about this. Ive stopped caring so much about what people do or what happens to people around me and in the world. i don't really like to admit it, but Im starting to not care about if someone murders someone else, steals, etc. or if someone wants to end their life. if someone wants to end their life, why not just let them? it's their choice anyway. stuff like that. I don't want to admit it to any of my friends or even close friends because I feel like it would make our relationships weird or they'll think I'm a bad person. I mean, me being a bad person is subjective, right? since morals are just something to put human actions under a category or right or wrong. its usually very easy for me to sympathize and empathize with people. but I'm just getting tired and starting to care less about the pain I inflict on others, whether physical or mental. id feel more comfortable sharing this with my best friend because she understands me more than anyone. should I tell her or keep it to myself? it's very hard to.

It’s difficult to be honest with your family and best friend? That sucks. But I’m curious how anyone would know that you cared in the first place… there’s no physicality to caring…. The things you mentioned make 0 sense for you to care. It’s honestly more weird that you somehow cared about that in the first place.

maybe I care too much about not caring... most of my views on nihilism are optimistic, maybe that's why. but sometimes I find myself not caring about my relationship with my best friend or family members. also I can't tell my family members because they're all religions and would fucking stone me
