Who needs 'success' like my friends with their families and fancy degrees that earn them thousands of dollars.
I have a degree but I dont care so much about this world's innerworkins. I prefer to let it be. I dont need a vagina, brats and material objects to make me happy either.
Nothing scares me and this is what scares me.

Congratulations, you're a 'stereotypical nihilist'. Note that I said stereotypical. A nihilist could be anybody but you 'act' the way people expect a nihilist to be.
Do you feel generally happy?
Success is all personal preference. Although as gay as it is, society set its own general "standard".

While you are correct that nothing matters - all desires are indeed subjective and suppressable, and you are entitled to make the decision to disregard them all if you so choose - you likely have chosen to abandon all desire for a negative reason, rather than having Reached Enlightenment™.
Have you considered that you may, for example:
1) Have difficulty imagining yourself being deserving of the things you're rejecting, due to a deep seated self esteem issue?
2) Be overwhelmed by the work involved in acquiring what you're rejecting, and are choosing to reject them to deal with that?
3) Be observing someone you don't like chasing after the things you're rejecting, and are associating the pursuit of those things with your distaste for that person?
There's a very good chance that your nihilism is an ego defense mechanism, rather than the pure, principled rejection of the material world which you imagine you're experiencing but which actually takes monks decades in monasteries to achieve.
