Yes. I'm a little more sensitive than average, but not enough to turn off animations, and this is uncomfortable.

Volunteering to help the vulnerable (in person) helped me with the vacuous superiority. I met some amazing people who just had bad luck. Your post shows you're on the right track and might be ready to make the next step.

I classify it as the peak 'existential comedy' around which all others navigate. I think there isn't a single episode that doesn't have meaning of life/death as at least a minor theme.

Another one with a similar feel is Bridget Christie's The Change, which she has cited Northern Exposure and Detectorists as inspirations.
