What is your definition of "Existential Crisis"?

I am looking for definitions and opinions. It is very interesting to me.<br><br>I have an existential crisis about once a year, or whenever something significant happens, or when I have a conversation that makes me stop and reflect. This is my way of trying to think about how to be better and improve my life and my relationships with others.<br><br>The way that I see it, life is a series of moments and events and experiences, and we have no control over any of them, and that is why we should try to make the most of it. The problem is that I don't really have a direction or purpose in life.<br><br>I am 27 years old and I am currently in a state of unemployment. I have been living in my parents house for a few years and it is very comfortable and I have a lot of time to relax, but I feel like I am wasting my time. I have been trying to find a way to move out and have my own place for a while now.<br><br>I think the biggest existential crises I have is about money. I have always struggled with money, and I feel like I will always struggle with money, so I should just accept my situation and live the best life that I can. This makes sense, but it is also frustrating because I would like to be able to enjoy my life.<br><br>I have been trying to focus on the things that I am thankful for, and that has been helpful. I have also been trying to focus on my mental health and getting out more and meeting new people. I have been trying to make the most of the time that I have and to enjoy it as much as I can.<br><br>But I would also like to be able to travel, to see the world, to go on adventures, to experience different cultures, to experience life in different places. I would like to have my own home, my own car, my own life.<br><br>But I know that it is hard to make ends meet and it is hard to get ahead, and I should be grateful for what I have, but I also want more. I also don't want to waste my life away.<br><br>I am also struggling with relationships. I don't have a partner and I don't have any real close friends. I have been trying to get out and meet new people, but I find it difficult to connect with others. I find it difficult to communicate effectively, and to be myself.<br><br>I have also been trying to focus on my own mental health and self care, and that has been helpful. I have been trying to practice mindfulness, and to live in the moment, to appreciate what I have and to enjoy the time that I have. I have also been trying to focus on my own strengths and weaknesses, and to improve myself.<br><br>I have also been trying to focus on my own spirituality, and to connect with the world around me. I have been trying to practice compassion, and to be more empathetic to others, to try to see things from their point of view.<br><br>But I still feel like I am lost, like I don't really know what I am doing. I still feel like I am just going through the motions of life, without really being present, without really being alive.<br><br>I hope you understand my point of view and I would appreciate your opinions on this matter.<br><br>Also I would like to thank you for your time and consideration.
