“Existential crisis is often used as a self-defense mechanism to deal with underlying problems. We do not want to accept we are unhappy because of a failed relationship or an unhappy work or some other simplistic animalistic reason. No. We want to believe our suffering is because of our ability to see the higher meaning and its meaninglessness. But again, it is just to protect yourself. Most of the times.

In other words, ever worry about existentialism? Think deeper. There is most likely a more basic need that has not been satisfied in you.”
