existential embarrassment

The feeling of intense embarrassment after one realizes they have constructed their sense of self on false premises.
At age 13, Matt was what you would call wapanese. Having never confronted his self-misconception for what it was, he channeled his existential embarrassment into hatred of others who reminded him of the way he used to be.

SARAH: baka! ^^;

MATT: congrats you're weeabo garbage

SARAH: :(

AMY: Matt, don't be malicious to Sarah as a form of compensation for your inability to deal with anything that reminds you of when you were 13 and deluded.

Atheistic Existentialism

Atheistic existentialism, existential atheism, or atheist existentialism, is a type of existentialism that explicitly excludes any transcendental, metaphysical, or religious beliefs from philosophical existentialist thought. A person of this belief is most likely going to be a positive atheist. This type of existentialism overlaps with existential nihilism.
Atheistic Existentialism includes philosophers such as: Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and Friedrich Nietzsche

existentialism

The philosophic exercise of likening oneself to God in that the direction and meaning of your life is yours alone to determine. The admission to oneself that anything and everything you know to be true may in fact be false, and that you do not possess the knowledge to determine what is and isn't. The method of continually constructing personal arguments for your decisions despite the knowledge that what you do may or may not matter.
These are two conversations about existentialism.
"Do we exist solely as figments of the imagination of God?"
"Perhaps. Then is it possible that the characters of our own dreams and imagination are of a similar nature to ourselves?"

"Life is meaningless. I should skip work in the morning to drink and enjoy myself."
"No, perhaps you should be responsible. You never know when you might find out the reason why."
"True."
