A rather flippant and presumptuous comment (i am already middle aged :-).
As Krishnamurti said; "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
The point is not that the questions are special/unique; it is that they are fundamental, perennial and plague everybody (the "me" is just a placeholder). The tragedy of existence is that there can be no settled answer to them and each of us have to find out for himself or subscribe to somebody else's answer.
But then again as Camus said; "Beginning to Think is beginning to be undermined".
Your start with realizing something is not quite right but unable to place your finger on it, begin asking questions each of which only reveals the rest of the layers of the onion and before you know it are starting to suffer from cognitive dissonance. You then abandon looking for answers and start to focus on learning to cope with the non-answers and getting on with your Life.
