    what’s worst here is that you can hear occasional laughter in the background, but it’s not a funny thing at all. They’re laughing at a desperate cry for help from a man who’s had his mental health destroyed by fame and success.

      You know as much as I like Bo Burnham he can be a bit whiny sometimes. I guess he’s self aware about it and all but like come on dude we get that you’re sad you’re famous and successful. Please stop reminding us about how depressed you are and go get help.

    To all the people commenting: "Welcome to my breakdown 🤪" Don't you see the irony? He wrote this in a near breakdown mental state because he was painfully ashamed and aware of his and others' attention seeking crave, and y'all wrote a comment seeking attention for your "mental breakdowns".

      Seeking attention is not bad. Depression, anxiety, mental/emotional breakdowns are more common than anyone can think, you cannot say if someone is suffering or not because this is internet lmao
      And also, you can identify with this song. "Is my breakdown and i choose the music" can mean that you actually relate to this song (hi). Y'all see "seeking attention" as something bad when lots and lots of kids and teenagers cannot have properly medical attention because "they're young they don't have reason to be depressed 😍😍😍" and the way to cope is to make fun of their own traumas and problems.

    This song is really good and I can really relate to how he feels, but i can't take it too seriously. He's performing a song in front of an audience about how bad of a person he is. " it's a cry for help and people are laughing " it's a comedy show where he's preforming a very serious song. A lot of the times where people laughed, Bo himself was doing something in this song that he does multiple times in other comedy songs ( and people laughed at those times, too) so I don't really blame them!

    Me preocupo com o fato de me identificar com isso. Sla. Não queria achar que tudo que eu sinto é sem importância.
