It's true in that a reasonable approach to faith isn't really possible for Kierkegaard i.e. infinite resignation. He gives the example of a man longing for a lover he has and will never be able to see. Nevertheless, he loves and neither does he believe he will never be with his lover. Unironically love, whether as a Christian virtue (the inviolable and undefined duty to another as described by Logstrup) or erotic love, it's through the restoration of your relationship with family, friends and others is key to overcome nihilism. There is a reason one of few books Kierkegaard wrote with his own authorship was Works of Love; a sincere deliberation upon how we ought to love another. Those who only read a few books if any by Kierkegaard and fall into believing he was an angsty solipsitic man would be living life as a veritable fool.
