Yes! Nervousness = Anxiety = β€œAngst.” I think this is why I’ve revived my interest in reading about existential angst, e.g. by re-reading Irvin Yalom’s books. You’re right; nervousness is the steady hum beneath the days of modern humankind. We’ve heard the Ram Dass saying β€œwe’re all just walking each other back home.” It might just be that by sharing our writing (on Substack and elsewhere), we’re also trying to calm one another down.

You’re right… nervousness has become constant, fueled by uncertainty, comparison, and everyday pressures replacing once-rare life moments.
