The article offers a comparative analysis of the concept of existential self-feeling with concepts close to it in meaning that have already entered the lexicon of psychological science. It is correlated with the concepts of the concepts of R. May, L. Binswanger, A. Lengle, R. D. Stolorou, A. Schopegauer, D. A. Leontiev, P. E. Astafiev, A. F. Lazursky, S. L. Frank, N. Kopteva, Holondovich and co-workers, etc. The specifics of the content of the concepts - well-being, sense of being, being-in-the-world, existential fulfillment, resilience, ontological confidence / uncertainty, psychological well-being, general well-being, direct self-being, ontological unconscious and their similarity and difference from the concept of existential self-sentiment are considered. The concept of existential self-sentiment means a person's experience of his existence as the most reliable of the facts of existence. This experience cannot be objectified or measured in its immediate manifestations, but it can be judged by how it is reflected in the qualitative characteristics of self-consciousness: a sense of fullness of being or emptiness; do we feel our serenity or concern; meaningfulness of being or meaninglessness - these and other qualities of self-perception indicate a certain dynamics of existential well-being, on which, in turn, the dynamics of the quality of our life as a whole depends. Existential self-feeling is not a function of the psyche, but it has a decisive functional significance in the entire structure of the mental, like a “background” that determines the properties and characteristics of any “figure” formed on this “background”. Understanding the essence of existential well-being in the order of our existence will provide an appropriate mental resource, both in terms of “vitality”, and in terms of the ability to fully and joyfully live our lives.
