Existentialism is common amongst all cultures and societies, and across all epochs.

We are never completely alone, but neither are we completely fused with another human being. Even if we withdraw from society, we still stand in relation to that from which we are apart. As beings that are capable of , if not condemned to, exercising freedom, sometimes in contradiction to an other's intentions, we stand as possible  opponents to the will of another.

Each of us is unique. No one else shares the particulars of their birth (where, how and to which parents), or the exact time and place that they occupy right now, but we all share the same concerns.

And we may share similar hopes and ambitions, but how these are realised, or valued, can be the source of conflict.
