Anxiety as Existential Freedom

Your anxiety is not a mental breakdown, it is actually your superpower. Sartre and Heidegger

basically proved that we spend our whole lives acting like NPCs just to avoid the terrifying

truth. Heidegger says we hide in The They, just copying everyone else because it

feels safe. Sartre calls it Bad Faith, where you lie to yourself saying

you have no choice just to escape the pressure. But that panic you feel is actually

a good thing. It is your brain realizing you are radically free to do literally anything,

and that is the only way to actually exist.
