angustia existencial

Angustia existencial, or existential anxiety, is the deep feeling of disquiet or unease that arises when we confront fundamental questions about life, purpose, freedom, and mortality. It’s the awareness that we are responsible for shaping our own identity and choices in a universe without inherent meaning. This can lead to feelings of uncertainty, dread, or insignificance, but also serves as a catalyst for personal growth, self-reflection, and authentic living. Essentially, it’s the emotional experience tied to confronting the core uncertainties and responsibilities of human existence.
