Existential vacuum

The existential vacuum is a sense of emptiness or lack of meaning in life, where individuals feel disconnected or unfulfilled. This concept, popularized by psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, arises when people struggle to find purpose or direction, leading to feelings of boredom, anxiety, or depression. In today's fast-paced world, many experience this vacuum due to societal pressures, consumerism, or unfulfilled aspirations. Overcoming it often involves exploring personal values, forging connections, and seeking fulfillment through meaningful activities or relationships, ultimately helping individuals find a sense of purpose and satisfaction in life.
