Existential Anxiety
Existential Anxiety
Existential anxiety is the unease that arises from fundamental questions about the meaning of life, death, and freedom.
Details
Existential anxiety comes from the fundamental questions of human existence — the meaning of life, death, solitude, freedom, and responsibility.
Asking these questions is completely natural. In fact, it means you are someone who thinks deeply. Existential psychology suggests that true growth happens not by avoiding this anxiety, but by facing it directly.
The meaning of life is not something you find — it's something you create. Small meanings gathered together form something greater. — Mindy
