What is an Existential Crisis?
People often speak of going through an ‘existential crisis’; but what do they really mean by the term? And when can it be useful to have it to hand? To undertake the journey of self-exploration the Existentialists thought crucial, take a look at our “Know Yourself” cards: http://bit.ly/29NH4Px

Just go watch a Voyager 1 or 2 video and read the comments. You will understand immediately what existential crisis is
Will I ever defeat my father?
Idk why but when I was 8 I felt like the world was like a cursed state I was in. It was like the world only exists when I am there and nothing exists after in gone if that makes any sense xd
non-linear equations of biasing motives because of interests and avoidances.
Watching this video is painful
Everytime I think about our death at any time , maybe by an astroid
I say these things to myself
WE HUMANS ARE EXPLORERS , I HOPE WE FIND A NEW PLANET TO LIVE IN AND AI HELPS US TO ACHIEVE WHAT WE WANT. I HAVE THIS ONE CHANCE TO APPRECIATE MY EXISTENCE , FOR WHICH I AM THE MOST GRATEFUL
If life has no point then you can do whatever you want in it. We as people are free to do whatever we want to.
At the end of the day, the only thing that we know is that we don't know anything.
Ohhhh so my quarter life crisis is actually an existential one. Good to know
People are drawn to religion and faith primarily in an effort to escape existential crisis. It can also be argued that religions came about so that human beings can deal with existential questions of our place in this mysterious cosmos.
I’m stressed about what happens after death… I just wish there can be heaven but I really don’t think it’s real
Someone dumb it down and explain existential crisis to my fragile brain please….
It's all about the torment of existence weighed against the horror of non-being. Or do I digress?
Man's just called Rien De Rien rubbish. Imma give it to him…
for my whole life..i didn't know if I even really existed but I do and people are starting to notice 😀
…I- I am the only one who isn't thinking about death and that life is pointless-
I am just thinking how weird is it that I am a human and eveyone around me has a life
Who else is having a covid existential crisis ?
Well idc about any other thing beside "why do i exist" how did the universe form , why was it created and who created God and who created the entity that created God 😖
Amor Fati
El professor 🙊
I feel like I'm in a dream and when I wake up I'm In a coffin
It’s just exurb1a
I just wish I could have someone to cry with about this. Existing here in this world just like every other pointless thing and being feels so painful. My own consciousness is destroying me. I'm sick of going through my tedious life, having to follow the tide of what this empty place holds. The only person who feels this way and would understand broke my heart. So now I'm alone, and I'm scared. I hate it here.
why is it that commects are so accurate? feels like i just found my gang

What is the song that starts at 2:26?
Life is a meaningless mess
If there's an umbrella in my drink, it better be raining.
I guess the first time i had this was when i was 7. then i asked – Why do we even get born when eventually we will die? whats the point. And also i remember saying, that nobody loved nobody, we only loved someone because of how they made us feel, what they did for us. I was saying – the only thing we love is ourselfs. Yea, 20 years later – Im jobless :))
It's kind of empowering to know we are burdened with an awareness of the meaninglessness of our lives.
It's like we are a bizarre anomaly on Earth that refuses to cooperate with the environment, for better or for worse.
Instead, we think with an intellect unheard of, trying to figure out what all this (the universe) is.
You are the proud owner of one of the most complex items in the universe: the human brain.
Whatever your thoughts on existence are, just know that you are amazing precisely because you have those thoughts on existence.
Pretty sure something i don't have any control of.
We are free’r than we think.. Well that’s an example of horse shit.
I was high asf last night just chilling watching tv and then I remembered that I’m in my body and I’ll always be in my body and I’ll never know what it’s like to be someone else.
"I think, therefore I exist." But irony is over thinking can lead you to having an existential crisis.
BoJacks life in two words
love the use of Edith Piaf song
I’m sorry but that guys panic yell is probably one of the funniest thing I heard on this channel 🤣🤣🤣
Did…Did they just suggest sleeping with horses is part of an existential crisis?…
How do I clear my head of the idea that I’m going to die, and my afterlife is going to be a void of nothingness.
I worked really hard on my latest video about identity and used this vid as research. so ummm if you’re looking for something to watch during quarantine I hope you give my channel a chance 😊
Thinking deeply is not always a good thing. You keep answering your own whys until you come to the ultimate conclusion which is that no matter what happens everything seems pointless.
That feeling you want to cry but you can’t because there’s no really reason
I'm a stay at home wife / mom and my husband finally retired at the ripe old age of 48.5 yrs of age. I tee totally love it! We go for walks most mornings, go grocery shopping together, find neat recipes to try, do house projects. At the end of the day, I am very fortunate to be able to enjoy life WITH my spouse.
I didn’t know this is called existential crisis
Life is nothing but a never ending cycle of an existential crisis
If everything we do in life is meaningless, not taking part in it would also be a waste.
