Summary/Abstract: The new hypothesis presented in the article describes the features of the very core of the personality – a permanent lack of the Real that determines all the external and internal relations of a person. The lack of the Real itself is grounded in the human experience of Nothingness as a metaphysical giveness. Namely, this infinite emptiness of Nothingness forces a person to choose the way of the infinite negativity that leads one to becoming a monster of excessive nihilation, monster that has nothing in common with the rest of the beings and entities on the Earth.
