I have heard it said that the way out of "existential angst" is through the creative process of self-realization. I don't know what it means either. I believe it has something to do with learning as much about yourself and other people as possible while learning how to make the most of life even though it sucks. This is supposed to eventually end anxiety.

For instance, you learn when you are a child how important maturity is, but when you are an adult, you see how much respect intimidating, rude and tantrum throwing people get. They are seen as "passionate, uncompromising and confident" by many ambitious people. When you learn to accept the reality of this, not let it get you down or derail you, you have made progress towards self-realization.
