Existential Crisis

An 'Existential Crisis' is when an individual questions the entire meaning of life itself and wonders if being alive even has a point. This gets in the way of everyday things such as, eating cereal, listening to the next step soundtrack on repeat and being vegan.

Existential Crisis

Obsessively looking for answers, not knowing why you exist, looking for the meaning of life and your reason to be here on Earth.

existential nincompoop

A technical philosophical term coined by a great philosophy professor
1) One that is completely and utterly ignorant to their existential worth.

2) A person that does not allow for existential growth due to their lack of understanding of either themselves or of the necessity

Maxwell is such a nihilist, he doesn't get out of bed all day, he doesn't contribute to society in any way. He is SUCH an existential nincompoop.
