Yes, if you think about it, everything may seem kind of pointless. So it's best if you don't thunk about it in that way. Maybe change your perspective. Look at it in different angles and how things are meaningful.
And yes, the Earth is very insignificant. Not in importance, but in size 🌌

It's not a lot of things have meaning, even Nietszche himself came to that conclusion. Sorry you feel this way tho.

If nothing has meaning, then everything has meaning, because you are given all the responsibility to find your own meaning. You have been given the autonomy to find your own meaning. If you spend your entire life doing nothing of importance because you conclude that nothing matters, then you have limited the meaning of your own life. The only way to find meaning is to assign it to your own life, which is the only thing you have control over. So, if nothing has meaning, everything has meaning (as long as you decide it does).

Wrong; Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman are regularly given answers that are very high-scoring, not pointless.

Nietzsche's view was that the view you express about the value of life is just an expression of your mental strength/health.
If you think life is meaningless... that's because your life is meaningless.
He said the question of whether life actually has value/meaning was a 'stupid' question, its only use being an indication of the mental strength/health of the speaker.

Honestly Nietzsche didn't really have that view.

And you're not incompetent at all! Everyone has different skills, maybe yours aren't academic, doesn't make you any less valuable than academic people.

You assign no meaning to your A Levels, and that's completely fine, it's your decision. But you should try and find meaning in something else. A passion of yours, or travelling, or other things.
