This is a very powerful way to conceptualize anxiety, stress, and general panic that humanity experiences.
I've often found that the thoughts that lead to these emotional states operate on a feedback loop. The negative self reflection leads to anxiety, that stress feeds back into the negative thoughts, and if the cycle is not broken it then leads to what people experience as panic attacks.
This is why psychological operations that focus on exploiting the hubris and ego of humanity are so effective. They hijack a person's self image and use that state of consciousness to induce anxiety that then allows for easier control of an individual's decision making capacity. We saw this first hand with the C19 event.
Memes like this are the Achilles heel of these psy-ops though. Memetic warfare has a way of resetting the feedback loop through basic humor and positive thought processes.
