Stuffed with allusions and Easter eggs for close listeners, Bleachers' songs are "supposed to sound like a person going crazy in a room alone — that's what it is," said Mr. Antonoff, who is consistently self-deprecating about his pileup of neuroses.

The human, all too human, neuroses laid bare in Monzó's pithy stories can be discomfiting to read for the nerves they strike — the lies we tell to get by, the rationalizations and hypocrisies, the forbidden thoughts, the randomness of events.

Julia Michaels, though she squandered too much of her brief set on excerpts from hits she has written for others, drew an arena-wide singalong on "Issues," another Song of the Year nominee, which finds romantic potential in complementary neuroses.

Like Frank Ocean with fewer neuroses, Khalid's voice is a balm on Harris' track, cutting through the instrumental with a classic R&B sweetness that few singers right now (though I always think of his female equivalent as Kehlani) can muster.

That is the opening line of a classic work of self-help, "The Road Less Travelled," and it enables the author, Scott Peck, to explain that many people either underestimate or overestimate the challenges of daily existence according to their own neuroses.

Such worries among my patients are becoming so common, so persistent, that I find myself focusing less and less on problems and neuroses that are specific to individual patients, and more and more on what is happening to the fabric of daily life.

And for those of us trying to listen to our more subtle selves, who are perhaps unduly sensitive to the neuroses and agendas of others, the pursuit of fleeting approbation can become a real distraction, thwarting those tender shoots of new ideas.

That's clearest on "False Prophets," released separately just before the album (it wasn't included because it disrupted the narrative), which found Mr. Cole diagnosing the neuroses of his peers and heroes without naming them, though the internet filled in the blanks quickly.

But the show isn't nearly as wacky as its premise makes it sound; Martin the Mutt is a lonely weirdo fretting through his neuroses while his owner Nan (the wonderful Allison Tolman, who you may remember from the first season of Fargo) does the same.

"The Course of Love" is a return to the form that made Mr. de Botton's name in the mid-1990s, when he was in his mid-20s and published three novels, starting with "On Love," that elegantly fussed over and annotated the neuroses of romance.

His ambition, self-invention and neuroses are all detailed in this sharp biography by Mr. Bonanos, who clearly admires the artist, sees the unsavory aspects of the man and knows old New York as well as anyone too young to have lived through it.

I was having such a good time commiserating with the characters' comical neuroses and their attempts to achieve emotional equilibrium, in songs featuring music and lyrics that often have the peppery charm of light operetta, that I was blindsided by the onset of Whizzer's illness.

Lockwood has an eye for the precise details that capture a family's neuroses, and the exact turn of phrase that will leave readers snickering and then scrambling to explain to horrified friends why the idea of a priest in transparent boxers is so funny.
|

The film was a potent piece of speculative satire: a low-budget, tightly scripted horror film that posited as its protagonist a young black professional (played by Duane Jones) who struggles to navigate the neuroses and hysteria of his white counterparts while fending off an undead horde.

And Nora is the person who outgrew that a long time ago, and had to deal with all the neuroses of adulthood, and the social cues, and being paranoid and nervous and financially responsible, and scared about being crazy, scared about the aftermath of saying stuff.
|

Yet the idea that eating certain items will help keep us healthy plays into both our natural neuroses about our own wellbeing and the emotional role food plays in our lives (small wonder then, that parents of under-18s find food with health claims, like superfoods, particularly appealing).

Original caption: "we didn't want to go, we didn't want to kill them, but its persistent silence and outstretched arms horrified and comforted us at the same time..." — 1983, photographer unknown, presumed dead "We've always told scary stories to convey our neuroses about the zeitgeist of the moment," she said.

Through some magic combination of writers, showrunners, and performers, the series managed to expand on the "hangout sitcom" formula, evolving its core characters into fearsomely sharp-witted borderline sociopaths who, despite a collective burden of neuroses and habits that would inspire most people to run away screaming, were somehow still likable.

Vanessa is Virginia's compatriot in her youthful struggles — against their half brothers, against their father's neuroses and neediness, against their beautiful mother's aestheticized misogyny — and in her adult work, and Gill writes persuasively about the sisters' escape from the Stephen household, their marriages and their efforts to make books and art.

SEE ALSO: The 100 Best Albums of 2017 | The 403 Best Songs of 2017 | The 13 Best Mixes of 2017 Don't Be a Stranger is such a light and breezy burst of punky indie pop that you hardly notice you're subtly being beaten over the head with several therapy sessions' worth of neuroses.

I didn't want her to share the neuroses of minority Boston fans who cringe knowingly when Adam Jones, the black center fielder for the Orioles, gets called a racial slur from the Fenway stands, as happened this spring, and then cringe again when Boston fans and sportswriters come clumsily to their city's defense.

But what makes this novel sing is its careful delineation of the beliefs and neuroses of the rich — that there exist, for instance, "high-class" and "low-class" flowers, that there are correct and incorrect shades of white paint — and its suggestion that the abandoned children's unexpected and unlooked-for freedom might save them.

She's always been aware of her neuroses (any number of old lyrics could attest to that) but this record is different; rather than channel her moods into wry anecdotes about public pools and bumper stickers, Tell Me How You Really Feel finds Barnett looking directly in the mirror, free of framing devices or metaphor.
|

Where my relationship to some of the figures in my work, like Tommy, has changed is, as I've grown up, I've gotten a better understanding of how when you write music and stories you do so much of it unconsciously and therefore you allow your own neuroses to leak through even though you don't intend them to.

In the same way that a child looks to their parents to garner some sense of acceptable behavior and "adultness," I look for a semblance of what "normal" might look or feel like to those who appear to have their heads firmly planted on their shoulders, and seemingly breeze through their days unaffected by neuroses, anxiety, insecurity.

This Canadian sketch comedy show starring the "baronesses" Aurora Browne, Meredith MacNeill, Carolyn Taylor and Jennifer Whalen crosses the border, bringing with it "bite-size observations on the micro-absurdities and macro-neuroses of modern life," Katrina Onstad wrote in The Times — things like Fitbit tyranny, the way moms say hello and product design for women.

With a bunch of neuroses and an eating disorder that still threatens to rear its head to contend with, I'm very fortunate to be in a position to be able to pay for help, and it's been a useful step in terms of actually dealing with the considerable amount of shit I've been mentally carting around for a while now.

"I'm going to go home and review this conversation and find every horribly embarrassing thing I've said for the past hour and feel mortified about it," she says over the Turkish meal, not coyly but frankly, as one who has been living with her own neuroses long enough that, as with pet birds, all their mannerisms are well known to her.

In the lead-up to the show's official TV debut, the original 19 episodes of the web series — which clock in between five and 12 minutes in length — have been scrubbed from their original online host, Vimeo, and rehomed on HBO Go. It's as good an excuse as any to catch up with Ben Sinclair and Katja Blichfeld's collection of loping New York character studies: Each episode follows a weed dealer (known only as the Guy) on a home delivery, giving him (and us) a brief glimpse into his customers' exploits, foibles, and neuroses.
