When a human,
(socially-constructed to think of themselves as a separate individual from the rest of Life on Earth, and Reality),
questions their relation/position to other Humans, the rest of Life on Earth, and the Reality they perceive.

I used to think of myself as an individual, then had an identity crisis, and realised I am part of collectives... Many collectives... infinite collectives...!? Collectives across time...!?
Who am I!?
Here and Now, We are one... Hari Ohm.

An 'Existential Crisis' is when an individual questions the their entire existence and asks themselves whether being alive even has a point or whether it's all pointless. This gets in the way of everyday things such as, making cereal and listening to the next step soundtrack on repeat

Excellent action/drama anime set in future Tokyo. Primarily dwells on four girls who combat mecha gone wrong in their awesome hardsuits complete with high heels. Priss is the most outstanding character although a lot of time is spent developing the other characters.
Great rock music... great chicks... scary mecha being pulverised and slashed... what more do you need?!

(ECONOMICS) An emergency in which a financial or government institution cannot meet its current obligations in an acceptable form of payment. Different from insolvency, which is where that same institution cannot be realistically expected to EVER meet its obligations.
A good example of the difference is a run on a bank, especially in the days before deposit insurance. A perfectly honest, well-run bank could have all of its books in order, and be paying its depositors in legal tender, when suddenly a panic strikes and everyone wants their deposits all at once. This is necessarily impossible, and forces the bank's officers to default on their debts.
Often, the bank could resume operation later when it was established that it held performing assets greater than deposits. More recently, liquidity crises have been a problem suffered by countries facing capital flight

In 1997, several countries in East Asia were stricken with a liquidity crisis. In many cases, such as Malaysia, the panicked response had nothing whatever to do with fundamentals; it was sheer herd mentality.

People in their mid-to-late 20's (sometimes early 30's) that cannot grasp the idea they are growing up...still hang out with high school people, go to bars/clubs, miss high school and their time there, try to 're-live' their glory days of high school/college. Feel insecure regarding the future & cling to the past as much as possible.
Other characteristics:
- Have trouble finding jobs that are 'good enough' for them
- Relationship problems/lots of instability
- Financial problems/spending issues/debt -- Feeling everyone is doing better than they are
- Refusal to stop partying
- Believe the single-party lifestyle is for them even though it puts them into debt & makes them look desperate(males - behave like someone from the show 'Entourage', women like younger versions of 'Sex and the City')
- Secretly envious of those who have settled down, have families/children, careers and friendships made after high school graduation. State 'I'm still in my prime' but knowing deep down they are fading fast into the background
