Perhaps that's a result of being born into a world with (unprecedented?) amounts of uncertainty.
Climate change, automation threatening the value of human labor, rise of authoritarianism, "the West" losing it's hegemonic status, wars, genocides.
Hard to make long term plans for your life when the world is changing rapidly and we don't even know how it will look like in 10 years.
If I take into consideration what I know about history then I'd say times are about as certain and safe as ever. What changed is that we now have an entire industry that thrives on fear and is very, very successful at it.
A comment before the resource wars that are likely coming
Arguably the European churches were such an industry for centuries, and were highly effective at it.
