Umm I'm laughing AND crying.. too funny
So, I have a broad vocabulary and sometimes I will refresh my memory of a word or phrase before I use it, just to be sure I'm using it in its proper place.. Well I've been feeling a sort of malaise for awhile. I wanted to post about it and was going to use 'existential angst' as the term that fit best. I looked it up and started laughing so hard that I was crying. omfg, too fucking funny. The reason it's so funny? Accuracy. Damn. That was like a bullet in the heart.
I'll link it here so you can laugh, too. (highlighted the part that cracked me up)

Existential Angst is one of the three corners of the Existential Triangle along with the People as Scenery theory and the Anthropic Fallacy.
People suffering from Existential Angst are either not convinced that they exist, unsure why they exist or not at all convinced that anything really exists at all. The Cartesian summary of this hypothesis (or really a lack of any clear hypothesism) is "I (if there is an I) might think, therefore I (ditto) might (if anyone actually cares) be". Some take is as far as "There's no point in even thinking as I might not be anyway".
