According to existentialism, epistemologically, it makes no sense for a person to doubt the existence of the world one lives in. Thus, existentialism asserts the existence of the individual first of all and states that existence is a problem of ontology. In this context, existential philosophy defends the thesis that what is called essence is not before existence, as religions and classical philosophy suggest, but existence comes before essence. Hence, in accordance with this understanding, one first exists and then builds one’s own individual essence. Therefore, the world or existence has to be described and investigated in relation to human beings. At this point, the problem of "existential anxiety", which is the main subject of the study, comes to the fore. At this point, the problem of "existential anxiety", which is the main subject of the study, comes to the fore. This problem arises when a person begins to think about oneself and becomes interested in the nature of one’s being in the world and asks "What am I?" When a person gets into an existential anxiety with the aforementioned question, one becomes conscious of oneself as a subject in one’s life and takes the responsibility and tries to form one’s own identity with an effort to get rid of society/everyone or social identity.
