The Existentialist Crisis

An existentialist crisis occurs when individuals question the meaning, purpose, and value of their life. It often arises from confronting life's uncertainties, mortality, or feelings of insignificance. People may seek clarity amidst doubts about their roles, beliefs, or choices, leading to feelings of anxiety or despair. This experience encourages deep reflection on personal existence, values, and authenticity, prompting them to redefine or find new purpose. While unsettling, it can also foster growth and a clearer understanding of self and life priorities.
