My anxiety gives me anxiety. #funny #comedy #anxiety #standupcomedy #shorts

Had a vacation recently and I had crazy bad anxiety of all the problems that could arise: missing connecting flights, tickets somehow being bad, crashing although statistically impossible, getting shot down, etc.

When none of those happened and I arrived to my destination, I realised that not even once had I thought my luggage could go missing.

... My luggage went missing...

Yeah... I guess I learnt a lesson that day.

I wasn't anxious enough. Next time I'll go deeper into my anxiety 👍

From childhood, my worst anxieties were always existential and thus had no answer. When I was 10, I was extremely anxious for about a month over the idea that my whole life might be a dream and no one I loved was real and I was completely alone in the universe. Anyway, I'm about to pursue a Ph.D. in Philosophy.

“…I mean, no one can say that for sure” 🤣 that’s such an amazingly lowkey real representation of anxiety. Totally normal, deadpan delivery of the idea that even when things are fine and there’s no reason to worry, it is an undeniable fact that something bad could potentially always happen — you’re probably totally safe and have nothing to worry about…but technically, no one can promise you this…

Anxiety is a bitch, but it's crazy how other people's anxiety cancels out my own 😅

[Matthew-zsnm]

You're just so natural with it. One of the best storytellers I've ever seen. Your inflections and the delivery.. freaking perfect

[Thoughtspresso]

This bit is funny and sad in a truly real way for me as a chronic worrier of all things. The thing I did not anticipate was Covid killing both my parents two days apart and just three weeks before my wedding and that's kind of a haha got suckerpunched by the universe moment for me.

When everything shut down, my soul went looking for me 😂 That's what I forgot.

1. Taylor is KILLING in those pants! 2. I had anxiety as she was explaining this lol and 3. This woman is everything ♥

That sums it up perfectly. It's hard to regard anxiety as being based on cognitive distortions when you keep getting nailed by stuff you didn't see coming.

And whatever therapists might think, physiology plays a role. Even if you started out neurotypical, persistent stress causes the prefrontal cortex's dendritic extensions to shrink, and the amygdala's to lengthen. And some of us did not start out with a neurotypical brain...

When everything shut down, a part of me was like now you all get it 😂

[leontalbuquerque]

Life will hit you by something you didn't expect precisely because the things you expected to go wrong you prevented or prepared. All that is left is the things you didn't see coming. I think what most people do differently is that they will accept shit occasionally happens and they will deal with it when it comes instead of trying to divine the future.

Talked to therapist during COVID about COVID - I'm like this is my "normal"! No one in 6', no going out in public, no get-togethers... Worried about the world imploding... Check, check, check!

[JW-ltws]

Her charisma, wit and stage presence is soooo good.

[legit.r]

Saw her live a week ago and she asked "does anyone here have anxiety?" and a similar thing happened where I did put my hand up but everyone else cheered and I think my brain went "I feel like people are gonna judge me for chering" 😂

[joannesuzieburlison]

That is my favorite line of the year 'I thnk covid was my fault you guys'. I felt like that just a tiny bit.

[gracewheeler]

She's really fucking right though. I'm a fellow anxious bitch, and in no way did I predict my boyfriend getting cancer AND COVID happening at the same goddamn time. Or my current meltdown which is entirely unrelated (he's cancer free now❤)

[calilewis]

"If something bad does happen, we'll be prepared because we've already thought of it." SHE'S NOT WRONG 😂

[Gcuso]

'I think covid was my fault you guys.' LOL

[notsonominal]

How can you be so down to earth, and so spectacular at the same time? The mind boggles, and its glorious!

[chrisspicer]

I love you as a comedian you are awesome 😂
