Existentialism is a philosophy which deals with the problem of human existence. At the core of existentialism is the idea that existence precedes essence. This means that individuals are not born with predetermined purposes or essential natures, but rather they define themselves and give meaning to their lives through their choices and actions. Existentialists reject the notion of a fixed human nature or a predetermined destiny. Existentialists criticize rationalism and positivism arguing that humanity cannot be understood rationally nor scientifically.
Variants
Atheist Existentialism
Atheist Existentialism is the exclusion of any transcendental, metaphysical, or religious beliefs from philosophical existentialist thought. It is a kind of existentialism which strongly diverged from the Christian existential works of Søren Kierkegaard and developed within the context of an atheistic world view. The philosophies of Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche provided existentialism's theoretical foundation in the 19th century, although their differing views on religion proved essential to the development of alternate types of existentialism. Atheistic existentialism was formally recognized after the 1943 publication of Being and Nothingness by Jean-Paul Sartre and Sartre later explicitly alluded to it in Existentialism is a Humanism in 1946.

Friends
Romanticism - Emotions and individuality are core aspects of the human experience.
Idealism - Matter doesn’t just make up the world around us. It’s also the ideas that we come up with.
Subjectivism - The human experience is subjective and differs between everyone.
Irrationalism - You don’t like 
this snooty asshole? Me neither! Let’s talk sometime!
Free Will - We decide our own fates.
Mysticism - Who needs organized religion to have a relationship with the divine?
Frenemies
Humanism - Humans can and do create their own unique experiences. Also, my atheistic variants like you a lot. But you are a bit too 
essentialist for my taste.
Empiricism - On one hand, you do rely on observations and personal experiences to create knowledge, and mysticism is based on you. But on the other hand, you have some File:ScientoReal.png nerdy weirdos 
following you around.
