اضطراب وجودی
While acknowledging the contingency and fragility of narratives, and the ubiquity of existential anxiety, these accounts nonetheless treat ontological security as the "guiding aspiration" (Rossdale 2015, 377), and indeed as possible, while claiming that "we rarely see ontological insecurity in daily life" (Mitzen 2006, 348).
Giddens and, to some extent, Mitzen regard variation in the degree of actors' routinization as dependent on their level of basic trust (their trust in 'the continuity of others and in the object-world'), which in turn depends, among other things, on the character of social relations at the formative stages of life or other experiences that generate existential anxiety.20 Actors with healthy basic trust engage in creative thought and importantly reflexively adapt their behaviour to new information.
In the absence of such answers, 'chaos lurks' (36) - it is replete with risks, threats and dangers that can easily overpower individuals with deep existential anxieties.
The key function of ontological security is therefore to sustain routine social activities and relationships while shielding the existential parameters of those activities from questioning and to 'bracket' overwhelming and threatening existential anxieties about the chaotic reality.
As a result, these individuals are exceedingly vulnerable to existential anxieties.
