Existential death anxiety is the basic knowledge and awareness that natural life must end. It is said that existential death anxiety directly correlates to language; that is, language has created the basis for this type of death anxiety through communicative and behavioral changes.
As an individual becomes more aware of the inevitability of death, they will instinctively try to suppress it out of fear.
