    Soren Kierkegaard believed that anxiety is an inevitable part of the human condition because we are constantly faced with choices and decisions that create feelings of freedom and uncertainty. He coined the phrase "anxiety is the dizziness of freedom" to describe how anxiety arises from both our attraction to and repulsion from the unknown possibilities of the future. While anxiety can be debilitating, existentialists also saw it as a positive force that can motivate us to take action and appreciate each moment. The philosophy serves as a reminder that we are responsible for creating our own lives through the choices we make, and that some level of anxiety is a normal experience stemming from our freedom.

    “Anxiety is the Dizziness of freedom”


    By Soren Kierkegaard

    According to Soren Kierkegaard “ Anxiety is the Dizziness of freedom”the attraction to


    and the repulsion from the nothingness of future possibilities. Thus, anxiety is not
    simply a psychological state, mood or feeling, but is an ontological structure essential to
    human beings and is the mark of human freedom.And anxiety is a normal even
    essential,part of human being.”anxiety is the dizziness of freedom" is a powerful
    metaphor that captures the essence of this complex emotion. Anxiety can be a
    debilitating condition, but it is also a reminder of our freedom to choose and create our
    own lives.
    Anxiety is a common theme in existentialist thought. Soren Kierkegaard believes that
    anxiety is an inevitable part of the human condition, because we are constantly faced
    with choices and decisions. We may be anxious about our careers, our relationships, our
    health, or our mortality.

    However, existentialists also believe that anxiety can be a positive force in our lives. It
    can motivate us to take action and to live our lives to the fullest. It can also help us to
    appreciate the value of each moment.

    The philosophy of "anxiety is the dizziness of freedom" can be applied to many different
    areas of our lives. For example, it can help us to understand the anxiety that we may feel
    when we are facing a major life decision, such as choosing a career or starting a family.
    It can also help us to understand the anxiety that we may feel in our relationships, as we
    navigate the challenges of intimacy and commitment.

    Ultimately, the philosophy of "anxiety is the dizziness of freedom" is a reminder that we


    are all free to create our own lives. It is a reminder that we are responsible for our own
    choices and for the consequences of those choices. It is also a reminder that anxiety is a
    normal and even inevitable part of the human condition.

    If we can learn to manage our anxiety effectively, we can embrace the dizziness of
    freedom and live our lives to the fullest.
