As anxious folks can attest, being self-deprecating and making fun of yourself is sometimes the only way to cope with your demons. Like the comedians of lore that came before us, there is humor in pain. With that logic, anxious people must be the funniest in the room, overthinking every conversation, every interaction, and every childhood memory that bubbles up. The only problem is, anxious people also get overwhelmed easily so it would be perfect if we could have a thought recording AI that could filter the bad thoughts and keep the humorous nonsense so that our inner dialogue would be less depresso and more impresso. Perhaps that a business idea you could discuss with your therapist next week; they're always receptive to your wacky ideas and introspection. Although your therapist certainly is a tough crowd when it comes to your self-deprecating jokes. The good doctor never chuckles, they just take notes in their book whenever you say something hilarious. They must be saving it for later.
