In this table, the "mean" means the empirically measured average funniness score when the "unfunny", "somewhat funny" and "funny" receive a funniness score of 1, 2, 3 respectively. "Precison" is the standard error of the mean, the standard deviation of the mean estimate. With that, a caption with an empirical mean μ and precision σ has true mean in the range [μ - 2σ, μ + 2σ] with 95% probability by the 68-95-99.7 rule assuming the responses are indepedent and identically distributed.

134 My parents were never around, or at least hard to find. 1.6958 0.03761 401 193 137 71
135 This is very stressful - don't you have a couch with no pattern? 1.6952 0.03725 397 188 142 67
136 I find myself repeating the same patterns. 1.6950 0.03524 423 195 162 66

145 Now do you see a pattern? 1.6904 0.03899 365 175 128 62
146 My ex walked past me yesterday like she didn’t even see me 1.6903 0.03929 381 189 121 71

332 I feel like nobody ever really sees me. 1.6117 0.05032 206 109 68 29
333 $300 an hour and I still match the couch? 1.6114 0.05293 211 119 55 37
334 Yes, but first you have to want to change. 1.6114 0.04802 229 122 74 33
335 Patient still talking about his background... 1.6111 0.05336 198 109 57 32
336 Sometimes I'll perch on my wife's clothes just to feel pretty. 1.6111 0.05236 216 122 56 38
337 I just feel so much pressure to conform. 1.6109 0.04479 221 116 78 27
338 No, I meant ‘cold blooded’ literally, not psychologically. 1.6103 0.04768 213 109 78 26
339 Besides floral, how does that make you feel? 1.6103 0.04950 213 113 70 30
340 Doc, I get the feeling you don't really see me. 1.6100 0.04952 200 103 72 25
341 Just as I thought. He's doing a crossword. 1.6100 0.05572 200 116 46 38
342 So, what do you mean exactly when you say "product of my environment?" 1.6095 0.05096 210 114 64 32
343 Stripes and plaid at the same time? Now THAT'S a challenge! 1.6093 0.05090 215 118 63 34
344 I see. Tell me more about when you started feeling the pressure to blend in. 1.6091 0.05061 197 103 68 26
345 Sometimes I just feel like they don’t see me for ME, you know? 1.6091 0.04655 220 112 82 26
346 Sometimes I feel like no one truly sees me. 1.6087 0.04922 207 108 72 27

352 What do you mean you can’t see me anymore? 1.6073 0.05290 191 103 60 28
353 I've never stood out from the crowd. 1.6073 0.04976 219 119 67 33
354 So, when did you first start noticing your surroundings changing to match YOU? 1.6071 0.05334 196 108 57 31
355 I dont know Doctor, just once I wish I could find myself. 1.6070 0.05085 201 107 66 28
356 I just feel so, you know - invisible. 1.6059 0.04850 203 104 75 24
357 I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were here. 1.6059 0.05143 203 110 63 30

359 Patient excels at adapting to change. 1.6058 0.05093 208 113 64 31
360 I have a tendency to fade into the background. 1.6050 0.05057 200 106 67 27
361 You seem to be stuck in a pattern 1.6045 0.05085 220 123 61 36
362 I bet he'd notice me if I sucked that pen out of his hand. 1.6041 0.05168 197 106 63 28
363 You seem to be fitting in better. 1.6040 0.05020 202 107 68 27
364 I just want to be seen for who I am, and not part of the furniture. 1.6039 0.05294 207 117 55 35
365 1:34 PM: client still hasn't arrived for appointment 1.6038 0.05280 212 121 54 37

368 So you are having problems finding yourself 1.6029 0.05079 204 110 65 29
369 So sometimes you feel blue, but other times....floral pattern? 1.6021 0.05549 191 109 49 33
370 Doctor, I don't believe you really see me. 1.6020 0.05290 196 108 58 30
371 Wanting to change is the first step. 1.6020 0.04992 201 106 69 26
372 OK, you win--it's a compulsion. Now can you please bring back the beige one? 1.6010 0.05249 198 109 59 30
373 Once again, Mr. Albertson, we see you falling into a familiar pattern. 1.6000 0.05313 195 108 57 30
374 This patient shows a pattern of superior adaptability to its immediate surroundings. 1.6000 0.04953 195 101 71 23
375 It's difficult for me to stand out. 1.6000 0.04454 225 113 89 23
376 I've seen 'green with envy,' so now show me what 'feeling blue' looks like. 1.6000 0.05105 190 100 66 24
377 Perhaps you're trying too hard to blend in. 1.6000 0.05210 185 98 63 24
378 It's just a reptile dysfunction. Don't worry, it's not what it sounds like. 1.6000 0.05371 190 105 56 29
379 When last did you really feel seen? 1.5990 0.04787 207 107 76 24
380 Your pattern of behavior inevitably leads to a reptile dysfunction. 1.5989 0.05665 182 104 47 31
381 What am I, part of the furniture? 1.5981 0.05171 209 117 59 33
382 Looks like that 2pm is a no show. 1.5979 0.04974 194 101 70 23
383 I´m good at this but that jacket will be a challenge 1.5979 0.05447 189 106 53 30
384 No matter how hard I work, I just don't seem to stand out at the company. 1.5978 0.05234 184 98 62 24
385 You know doc, I just can’t stop changing for other people 1.5978 0.05456 184 102 54 28
386 Last session you said you had an overwhelming need to fit in. Any progress? 1.5973 0.04867 221 120 70 31
387 May 17th. Patient failed to show. 1.5968 0.05622 186 107 47 32
388 Change doesn’t always come from within. 1.5968 0.05303 186 101 59 26
389 Yes, I could refer you to Dr. Jones, who has a plaid couch. 1.5967 0.05416 181 99 56 26
390 Patient no-showed his appointment, yet again. 1.5963 0.05252 218 127 52 39

394 It feels like people never really see me for who I am. 1.5956 0.05258 183 98 61 24
395 So, tell me about your obsessive desire to blend in. 1.5955 0.04578 220 113 83 24
396 I've tried to change so many times... 1.5950 0.04599 200 109 67 24
397 Perhaps a change of scenery would do you well. 1.5949 0.05608 195 115 44 36
398 Yeah, but you can hear me, right? 1.5946 0.05044 185 101 60 24
399 And when did you first experience this compulsion to assimilate? 1.5946 0.05044 185 96 68 21
400 Is that a fly on your tie? 1.5946 0.05382 185 102 56 27
401 I can't help you until you really don't want to change. 1.5944 0.05554 180 101 51 28
402 Do you think you’ve made progress toward your goal of blending in? 1.5944 0.05088 180 93 67 20
403 Sometimes I feel like people don’t see me for me 1.5935 0.04675 214 111 79 24
404 So, you say your mother was cold blooded? 1.5928 0.05681 194 116 41 37
405 I'm afraid to show my true colors. 1.5926 0.05242 189 103 60 26
406 I do need help, but I would never combine checks and stripes. 1.5926 0.05605 189 110 46 33
407 I've noticed a tendency to do this when I ask for your copay. 1.5924 0.05461 184 103 53 28
408 I just never feel like I blend in. 1.5922 0.05467 179 99 54 26
409 Now that I think about it, my mother always tried to blend in too. 1.5920 0.04976 201 110 64 27
410 I can see you, you know 1.5909 0.05656 176 100 48 28
411 So you say you don't feel comfortable in your own skin. 1.5909 0.05599 176 99 50 27
412 Why is it always me that needs to change, ya know? 1.5909 0.05770 176 102 44 30
413 I really hate the new upholstery. 1.5909 0.05422 176 96 56 24
414 I guess I'm just having trouble finding myself. 1.5904 0.05319 188 104 57 27
415 I don't need the entire patient history, only your most recent background. 1.5902 0.05541 183 104 50 29
416 Patient remains... evasive. 1.5899 0.05257 178 95 61 22
417 It’s hard you know...always changing. Always adapting. It’s like I can’t find the real me. 1.5899 0.05719 178 103 45 30
418 I've never really felt seen. 1.5895 0.05170 190 103 62 25
419 I feel a constant need to blend in" 1.5889 0.05214 180 96 62 22
420 Hmmm,yes. I’m beginning to detect a pattern. 1.5889 0.05093 180 94 66 20
421 Yes, I believe I'm capable of change. 1.5888 0.05232 197 110 58 29
422 I am having trouble blending in lately 1.5888 0.04926 197 104 70 23
423 I don’t like to interrupt, but I’ve been here for 40 minutes. 1.5886 0.05264 175 93 61 21
424 I never saw my dad around much as a child. 1.5885 0.05183 192 105 61 26
425 You have to stop trying to blend in and let them see the real you. 1.5882 0.05381 170 91 58 21
426 I feel like I’m constantly trying to be something I’m not! 1.5882 0.05502 187 107 50 30
427 And for how long have you had this feeling that no one notices you? 1.5873 0.04739 189 95 77 17
428 At Parties, no one ever seems to notice me. 1.5873 0.05247 189 104 59 26
429 I have a hard time not fitting in. 1.5871 0.05201 201 113 58 30
430 It's like I'm not even there. 1.5870 0.05301 184 101 58 25
431 Actually in your case, I don’t think change is possible. 1.5866 0.05414 179 99 55 25
432 I just don’t know how to make myself stand out! 1.5866 0.05297 179 97 59 23
433 But first you have to want to not change 1.5852 0.05487 176 98 53 25
434 Just once I’d like to stand out, you know? 1.5851 0.05324 188 105 56 27
435 New couch? 1.5848 0.05424 171 93 56 22
436 I don’t know. I guess I feel like people see right through me. 1.5843 0.05322 178 97 58 23
437 I thought I was a risky dresser, but your plaid on stripes beats me! 1.5838 0.05439 173 95 55 23
438 Patient's a no-show for the third time this week 1.5838 0.05798 173 101 43 29
439 Arthur, we seem to be making progress. Last week you seemed so blue. 1.5838 0.04846 185 102 61 22
440 Yoo-Hoo! I've been here an hour . 1.5833 0.05690 168 95 48 25
441 So, you feel you are constantly changing to suit others? 1.5829 0.05128 187 101 63 23
442 I liked your old couch better. 1.5829 0.05915 175 105 38 32
443 I feel like I always just blend into the background. 1.5824 0.04913 170 90 63 17
444 And why do you think you can't be yourself? 1.5820 0.05197 189 104 60 25
445 Have you ever considered just trying to be yourself? 1.5815 0.05077 184 98 65 21
446 I think I try too hard to fit in at times. 1.5815 0.05135 184 99 63 22
447 She keeps saying I’m hiding from her, I honestly don’t know how I can be any more transparent! 1.5814 0.05649 172 98 48 26
448 It's like she doesn't even see me. 1.5808 0.05655 167 94 49 24
449 But what if I don’t want to change? 1.5808 0.05591 167 93 51 23
450 Why can’t she just see me as I am?? 1.5806 0.05151 186 101 62 23
451 Whaddya mean 'do I have trouble adapting to new environments?' 1.5801 0.05543 181 104 49 28
452 I'm a product of my environment Doc! 1.5801 0.05200 181 98 61 22
453 I don't know Doc, I'm just so tired of blending in. 1.5799 0.05412 169 92 56 21
454 She makes me feel invisible. 1.5793 0.05537 164 90 53 21
455 Sometimes I feel like they don't even see me. 1.5789 0.05301 171 92 59 20
456 I don't think she even notices me. 1.5789 0.05554 171 96 51 24
457 But that's just it doc. She told me NOT to change. 1.5789 0.05301 171 92 59 20
458 I'm tired of fitting in doc 1.5787 0.04829 197 104 72 21
459 It feels like no matter what I do..no one actually sees me. Ya know? 1.5786 0.05599 159 87 52 20
460 This is my last session unless you reupholster. 1.5786 0.06077 159 94 38 27
461 My problem, Doc, is that I feel invisible. 1.5786 0.05492 159 88 51 20
462 Perhaps you'd feel more at ease if you focused less on blending in and more on being yourself. 1.5786 0.05382 159 84 58 17
463 I could relax more easily on a solid color couch 1.5784 0.05059 185 99 65 21
464 Hmm.... I'm beginning to see a pattern here. 1.5784 0.05117 185 100 63 22
465 It seems to be a pattern with me 1.5780 0.05319 173 94 58 21
466 I’m diagnosing you with reptile dysfunction. 1.5779 0.05439 199 118 47 34
467 Your jacket reminds me of my mother. 1.5778 0.05679 180 106 44 30
468 No matter how hard I try to stand out, I always end up just blending in. 1.5778 0.05399 180 101 54 25
469 How long have you felt that people just don't see the real you? 1.5776 0.05406 161 86 57 18
470 Patient appears to have disappeared 1.5776 0.05686 161 90 49 22
471 Dr., I'm so tired of just "fitting in". 1.5776 0.05111 161 82 65 14
472 There's no need to go out of your way to blend in here. Please just be yourself. 1.5771 0.05274 175 95 59 21
473 That’s when I realized I’m turning into my mother’s couch. 1.5769 0.06103 156 92 38 26
474 and you say you've been feeling off colour for how long..? 1.5767 0.05092 189 103 63 23
475 I've done flowers long enough; now I wan'na try your jacket. 1.5767 0.05700 163 92 48 23
476 And you say you can’t understand the connection between lounge and lizard? 1.5762 0.05035 210 119 61 30
477 Just as I thought, he's doodling. 1.5761 0.05475 184 106 50 28
478 So you say your tongue is always getting you in trouble. 1.5759 0.05557 158 86 53 19
479 Sometimes I feel invisible, Doctor. 1.5759 0.05484 158 85 55 18

481 But do you really WANT to change? 1.5756 0.05345 172 94 57 21
482 A pattern is starting to emerge 1.5754 0.05424 179 101 53 25
483 I feel that I've been overlooked all my life. 1.5750 0.05433 160 86 56 18
484 I’m not charging for the first 30 minutes because I had no idea you were here. 1.5749 0.05786 167 97 44 26
485 Lately I have this feeling like I just blend into the background. 1.5747 0.05423 174 97 54 23
486 It's horrible Doctor. Sometimes I just feel invisible... like nobody sees me 1.5747 0.05299 174 95 58 21
487 You've clearly learned how to blend in. 1.5746 0.04901 181 94 70 17
488 Doctor, I seem to have lost my identity this past year. I get too absorbed in my surroundings. 1.5741 0.05662 162 91 49 22
489 Blends in well, but gets anxious near plaid. 1.5741 0.05796 162 93 45 24
490 You say you often feel like part of the furniture. Why do you think that is? 1.5741 0.04740 162 91 54 17
491 I sense you are easily influenced by others. 1.5741 0.05455 162 88 55 19
492 no matter what i do, i just can’t seem to stand out from the crowd. 1.5741 0.05525 162 89 53 20
493 So you’re not feeling “seen” by those around you? Tell me more. 1.5740 0.05352 169 92 57 20
494 So, why do you think people don’t notice you? 1.5732 0.05610 164 92 50 22
495 I get very absorbed in my surroundings 1.5732 0.05406 164 89 56 19
496 I don't get it, Doc - what's wrong with trying to blend in?" 1.5732 0.05610 164 92 50 22
497 When did you first notice your need to blend in 1.5731 0.05434 171 95 54 22
498 I tell people it’s a defense mechanism, but deep down I know I’m just showing off 1.5723 0.05882 159 92 43 24

1364 It sounds like you just don’t like change 1.4510 0.06173 102 63 32 7
1365 I feel no one truly sees me for who I am 1.4505 0.06859 91 58 25 8

1370 It’s like they don’t want to see the real me. 1.4500 0.07093 80 50 24 6

1372 I can change doc... Really. 1.4500 0.06872 100 66 23 11
1373 I always feel pressure to conform. 1.4495 0.06317 109 70 29 10

1376 But I don’t identify as fluid. 1.4494 0.06782 89 56 26 7
1377 You know you’ll never be happy until you let people see you for who you really are. 1.4494 0.06782 89 56 26 7
1378 Have you ever heard the term imposter syndrome? 1.4494 0.06591 89 55 28 6

1385 All my life I’ve been told to just blend in. 1.4486 0.05824 107 65 36 6
1386 You seem to be suffering from upholster syndrome. 1.4486 0.06537 107 70 26 11
1387 You're blue now, but then again, so is my couch. 1.4483 0.07449 87 58 19 10
1388 You can't stand out when you were born to blend in. 1.4483 0.06890 87 55 25 7
1389 ‘I told her she’s projecting but she says I keep changing’ 1.4483 0.07081 87 56 23 8
1390 But I’m not ready to change. 1.4483 0.06890 87 55 25 7
1391 Look I know you have anxiety but you can’t just disappear all the time 1.4483 0.06281 87 52 31 4
1392 It seems like you feel that you have to resemble the people around you in order to be accepted 1.4483 0.06890 87 55 25 7
1393 I don't think the Doc knows I'm here, yet. 1.4479 0.07082 96 64 21 11
1394 Sounds like you’re very good at matching others expectations of you. 1.4479 0.06765 96 62 25 9
1395 Well for starters, this floral pattern clashes with my eyes. 1.4479 0.06765 96 62 25 9
1396 They say I adapt well to new environments, so why do I feel so invisible? 1.4476 0.06764 105 70 23 12
1397 Doc why is it so easy to fit in but so hard to stand out? 1.4476 0.06345 105 67 29 9
1398 No matter how I try, I've never been a standout at anything. 1.4476 0.06199 105 66 31 8
1399 So, you're having trouble with people over looking you?" 1.4471 0.06590 85 52 28 5
1400 You say you wish to stand out, but your behavior tells me otherwise. 1.4471 0.06800 85 53 26 6
1401 I seem agitated? Look at the couch. I’m working overtime here! 1.4471 0.07003 85 54 24 7
1402 I wish I felt as good as I look. 1.4471 0.07003 85 54 24 7
1403 I see. And, when did you first start exhibiting these disturbing patterns 1.4471 0.07392 85 56 20 9
1404 I’m worried all this therapy is compromising my individuality 1.4471 0.07200 85 55 22 8
1405 I can't see you now 1.4471 0.07392 85 56 20 9
1406 You have the worst case of transference I have ever seen. 1.4468 0.06868 94 61 24 9
1407 You can't really change who you are. 1.4468 0.06699 94 60 26 8

1409 Let’s address your concerns about blending in. 1.4468 0.06699 94 60 26 8
1410 So what color should my couch be? 1.4468 0.06868 94 61 24 9
1411 I feel like people don't even see me. 1.4468 0.07032 94 62 22 10
1412 six callbacks for GEICO,,,and then they chose HIM! 1.4468 0.07193 94 63 20 11
1413 This is a safe environment. It's fine to show your true colors. 1.4468 0.06166 94 57 32 5
1414 Hmm... I don't think your mother is the reason you've never felt seen 1.4458 0.07120 83 53 23 7
1415 Your right, the new couch pattern is slimming in me. 1.4458 0.07120 83 53 23 7
1416 Sometimes I just feel like nobody really sees me 1.4458 0.07522 83 55 19 9
1417 Nobody seems to notice you? 1.4458 0.07120 83 53 23 7
1418 I think the issue is feeling as though you always have to blend in. 1.4458 0.06695 83 51 27 5
1419 the world is changing, not me. 1.4458 0.06911 83 52 25 6
1420 It is like my husband doesn't even see me. 1.4457 0.06441 92 57 29 6
1421 But I don't want to blend in. I just want to be me. 1.4457 0.06058 92 55 33 4
1422 The answer to 3 down is ichthyostega. 1.4457 0.07144 92 61 21 10
1423 No matter where I am, it seems others never notice me. 1.4457 0.07309 92 62 19 11
1424 So Doc, do you think I can change? 1.4457 0.06623 92 58 27 7
1425 I just for once want to be me. I mean, why do I feel like I always have to blend in? 1.4457 0.06801 92 59 25 8
1426 I’m camouflaged not invisible 1.4457 0.06058 92 55 33 4
1427 Everyone keeps telling me I’ve changed” 1.4457 0.06623 92 58 27 7
1428 . I feel like everyone is always looking right through me. 1.4455 0.06521 101 65 27 9
1429 Just once in my life I would like to be seen and not heard! 1.4455 0.06404 110 72 27 11
1430 So, you just don't "feel seen" then, is it? 1.4444 0.06457 99 63 28 8
1431 Before you write that down --- I also changed my mind about that too. 1.4444 0.06614 99 64 26 9
1432 Patient’s behavior reflects a strong desire to fit in even though he is extremely unhappy and on edge. 1.4444 0.07260 90 60 20 10
1433 Worst case of codependency I've ever seen. 1.4444 0.07086 90 59 22 9

1436 Having trouble with your karma, chameleon? 1.4444 0.07027 81 51 24 6
1437 Either the couch goes or I do. 1.4444 0.07430 90 61 18 11
1438 And I’m tired of mimicking a couch that’s twenty years out of style. Put that in your notes too, Dr.! 1.4444 0.06614 99 64 26 9
1439 Blending in is just a first step. 1.4444 0.06804 81 50 26 5
1440 Blending in has always been an issue for me. 1.4444 0.06457 99 63 28 8
1441 Doc,no one sees me as the individual that I am! Instead,Im the guy who just seems to blend in unnoticed! 1.4444 0.06573 81 49 28 4
1442 Tell me again why you don't think you fit in? 1.4444 0.06768 99 65 24 10
1443 So nothing much changed since our last session? 1.4444 0.06908 90 58 24 8
1444 I feel like I'm really starting to fit in. 1.4444 0.06804 81 50 26 5
1445 ...and i'm also prescribing you something for the color change problem 1.4444 0.06919 99 66 22 11
1446 I’m scared of change Doc... 1.4444 0.06573 81 49 28 4
1447 Come on Larry, your hour’s up and I can still see you there… 1.4444 0.06804 81 50 26 5
1448 And that’s when my lizard brain kicked in .... 1.4444 0.06614 99 64 26 9
1449 Actually, I *do* think that’s a healthy defense mechanism. 1.4444 0.07086 90 59 22 9
1450 I don't know why I bother coming; it's like I'm not even here 1.4444 0.06536 90 56 28 6
1451 To Do: 1. Cancel 11:00; 2. Call IKEA about talking couch” 1.4444 0.07454 81 53 20 8
1452 Change is difficult for most people but you’re making great progress 1.4444 0.06295 99 62 30 7
1453 I'm sorry about the floral pattern. Next visit I'll have a solid less distressing design. 1.4444 0.07454 81 53 20 8
1454 I guess, to be fair, it can be hard to know where I stand... 1.4435 0.05948 115 73 33 9
1455 I feel like you’re not even looking at me... 1.4434 0.06299 106 68 29 9
1456 I think your issue is that you're afraid of change. 1.4433 0.07024 97 65 21 11
1457 Yeah, I don’t think anyone would wanna be a fly on the wall in this conversation. 1.4433 0.07024 97 65 21 11
1458 What do you mean, I don’t adapt well to new environments? 1.4432 0.07382 88 59 19 10
1459 Classic case of emotional camouflage. 1.4432 0.06830 88 56 25 7
1460 Note: Patient adapts well to new surroundings but struggles with body image issues. 1.4432 0.07382 88 59 19 10
1461 What do you mean it’s just my reptilian brain at work? 1.4432 0.07019 88 57 23 8
1462 Just once I'd like to feel comfortable in my own skin. 1.4430 0.07373 79 51 21 7
1463 As a lounge lizard,my options are limited because I just blend in. 1.4430 0.07590 79 52 19 8
1464 I understand, change is hard for everyone 1.4430 0.07149 79 50 23 6

1468 I am sooooo tired of just blending in...I need to finally be noticed. 1.4421 0.06119 95 58 32 5
1469 It all starts with you believing you can change. 1.4421 0.06474 95 60 28 7
1470 I've always suffered from the imposter syndrome 1.4421 0.06474 95 60 28 7

2407 You need to learn to show others who you truly are. 1.3788 0.07084 66 44 19 3
2408 Have you noticed any changes in your sleeping patterns? 1.3788 0.08011 66 47 13 6
2409 ( camelion's thought bubble) This upholstery isn't really me. 1.3788 0.07084 66 44 19 3
2410 My new shrink has a tree instead of a couch. 1.3788 0.07084 66 44 19 3
2411 Well, I noticed you and that's important. 1.3788 0.07084 66 44 19 3
2412 And does this new pattern you noted make you feel seen? 1.3788 0.07714 66 46 15 5
2413 It seems you're taking on the problems of everyone around you. 1.3788 0.08011 66 47 13 6
2414 The aim of these sessions is for you to become a calmer chameleon 1.3788 0.07406 66 45 17 4
2415 You think I got it bad? You're the one talking to a chameleon. 1.3784 0.07123 74 51 18 5
2416 So, how long have you been having these pigment swings? 1.3784 0.06858 74 50 20 4
2417 Our goal is for you to feel better, not to change you. 1.3784 0.06858 74 50 20 4
2418 I think you’d be happier if you had your own unique style. 1.3784 0.06858 74 50 20 4
2419 So you think you are trying too hard to always fit in? 1.3784 0.07123 74 51 18 5
2420 I look just like my father. And my mother. And... 1.3784 0.07378 74 52 16 6
2421 Tell me about your mother. 1.3784 0.06582 74 54 14 6
2422 I’m worrying about my Karma. 1.3784 0.06858 74 50 20 4
2423 Believe it or not, I have trouble fitting in. 1.3784 0.06295 74 48 24 2
2424 So you're telling me this is NOT about my mother? 1.3784 0.06858 74 50 20 4
2425 Another no show... *sigh* 1.3784 0.06858 74 50 20 4
2426 I read something online the other day: ‘you were born to stand out.’ But what if I just want to fit in? 1.3784 0.06295 74 48 24 2
2427 What do you mean, stop changing colors? 1.3784 0.06858 74 50 20 4
2428 So what you’re saying, is that in every new situation you change yourself to fit in? 1.3784 0.07378 74 52 16 6
2429 The problem is when I turn green she wants red and when I turn red she wants green. 1.3780 0.06863 82 57 19 6
2430 I am tired of being invisible, Doc. 1.3780 0.06409 82 55 23 4
2431 You’re saying that people don’t seem to notice you. 1.3780 0.06863 82 57 19 6
2432 Can you hear me, doc? I’m not a couch. 1.3780 0.07079 82 58 17 7
2433 No. It’s not pandemic stress syndrome 1.3780 0.06640 82 56 21 5
2434 I feel like everyone treats me like part of the furniture. I don't feel 'seen'. 1.3776 0.06241 98 68 23 7
2435 Fits in well. 1.3770 0.07076 61 40 19 2
2436 I'm afraid of change 1.3770 0.07811 61 42 15 4
2437 This busy pattern is making me anxious. 1.3770 0.07076 61 40 19 2
2438 So what are you today? 1.3770 0.07453 61 41 17 3
2439 I kind of wanted my wife to find out about my mistress. But I had to give up 1.3770 0.08153 61 43 13 5
2440 And do you consider this a healthy coping mechanism? 1.3770 0.07453 61 41 17 3
2441 No, 'lizard brain' is not a derogatory assessment. If I were you I'd take it as a compliment. 1.3768 0.07473 69 48 16 5
2442 Why is change so difficult? 1.3768 0.06879 69 46 20 3
2443 And you say you don’t feel seen. 1.3768 0.06879 69 46 20 3
2444 No no, not that kind of transference. 1.3768 0.06562 69 45 22 2
2445 Without warning, patient left the session. 1.3768 0.06879 69 46 20 3
2446 I really . . . want . . . to change. 1.3768 0.08023 69 50 12 7
2447 Hey Doc, what is Karma? 1.3768 0.06562 69 45 22 2
2448 I notice you keep changing your answers. 1.3768 0.07473 69 48 16 5
2449 No one really sees me, not even you. 1.3768 0.07182 69 47 18 4
2450 Patient appears triggered by the chaise longue 1.3768 0.07753 69 49 14 6
2451 And that’s when I started asking myself... am I invisible? 1.3768 0.06879 69 46 20 3
2452 I’ll finally start to feel comfortable in my own skin, and then suddenly I’m a tacky floral couch cushion. 1.3768 0.07182 69 47 18 4
2453 Patient appears to be controlled by his reptilian brain. 1.3766 0.06142 77 50 25 2
2454 As far back as I can remember, Doc, I've never been able to stand out in the crowd. 1.3766 0.07169 77 54 17 6
2455 I don't know. Why do YOU think this chaise lounge is triggering you? 1.3766 0.06142 77 50 25 2
2456 Sometimes I can't even find myself... 1.3766 0.06927 77 53 19 5
2457 So you say your mother abandoned you in an egg mass, then ate your father, and THIS is how you cope? 1.3766 0.07169 77 54 17 6
2458 I see how constant conformity can be exhausting 1.3766 0.06676 77 52 21 4
2459 My childhood was pretty normal, except for the occasional embarrassing camouflage incident. 1.3766 0.07169 77 54 17 6
2460 I see... and how does being constantly overlooked make you feel? 1.3766 0.06414 77 51 23 3
2461 The therapist, with his legs crossed in a weird manner, regrets his couch choice after he just said, "Just be you." 1.3766 0.06142 77 50 25 2
2462 It just seems like no one ever notices me… 1.3766 0.06414 77 51 23 3
2463 I am sensing that anything other than solid green upholstery causes you significant anxiety. 1.3766 0.06676 77 52 21 4
2464 My sports coat will not solve your identity crisis. 1.3766 0.07631 77 56 13 8
2465 Yes, it is frightening to change... 1.3766 0.05857 77 54 19 4
2466 Let's reflect 1.3766 0.07169 77 54 17 6
2467 It's like my lizard brain is saying, 'They're not worth it! Blend in!' 1.3766 0.07169 77 54 17 6
2468 I’m rebranding post lockdown as my most authentic self. 1.3766 0.06676 77 52 21 4
2469 There’s a fly on your nose! 1.3750 0.06506 80 54 22 4
2470 Being heard but not seen is a difficult problem to have, indeed 1.3750 0.07217 64 43 18 3
2471 For some reason, I often feel overlooked. 1.3750 0.06976 72 49 19 4
2472 You should stop trying to hide who you are. 1.3750 0.06745 80 55 20 5
2473 I would say that years and years of blending in has led to your current identity crisis" 1.3750 0.06326 96 67 22 7
2474 I'm so damn tired of having to blend in. Just makes me wanna curl up my tail and roll my eyes back into my head. 1.3750 0.06506 80 54 22 4
2475 I try to blend in but they keep saying I'm invasive. 1.3750 0.06493 64 41 22 1
2476 It's a common defense mechanism... like the way this bow tie makes me invisible at singles mixers. 1.3750 0.07516 72 51 15 6
2477 Is it wrong to want to blend in? 1.3750 0.07553 64 44 16 4
2478 In my dream you stopped accepting my insurance. 1.3750 0.06235 72 49 20 3
2479 Your flowered pattern sofa is really stressing my camouflage reaction. 1.3750 0.06976 72 49 19 4
2480 I’ve been feeling invisible lately. 1.3750 0.06745 80 55 20 5
2481 Doc, I just want to blend in. 1.3750 0.06689 72 48 21 3
2482 Even as a child, I've always felt overlooked. 1.3750 0.07553 64 44 16 4
2483 You're tongue-tied? Well, spit it out. Let's see what's bugging you. 1.3750 0.06076 72 46 25 1
2484 Everyone says I'm cold-blooded AND have lizard eyes. 1.3750 0.06865 64 42 20 2
2485 ...and then I changed from green to a lovely teal... 1.3750 0.06865 64 42 20 2
2486 When are your going to change your couch cover? 1.3750 0.07217 64 43 18 3
2487 Mrs.Thomas, I believe that your transformation during our therapy sessions is going to make legends of us both. 1.3750 0.06865 64 42 20 2
2488 Every time I see my gal flirt at a branch party, I turn completely green with envy, and it's like I just disappear! 1.3750 0.06976 72 49 19 4
2489 So, you woke up this morning thinking you were a cockroach. 1.3750 0.08665 56 40 11 5
2490 Just be yourself. Don't feel like you have to fit in. 1.3750 0.07008 56 36 19 1
2491 Which personality did you bring today? 1.3750 0.07217 64 43 18 3
2492 What do you mean nobody notices you? 1.3750 0.07553 64 44 16 4
2493 Actually, I don't think I fear change. 1.3750 0.07217 64 43 18 3
2494 I can’t relax. The upholstery on this couch is driving me crazy! 1.3750 0.07516 72 51 15 6
2495 You seem to be stuck in the same old pattern. 1.3750 0.07217 64 43 18 3
2496 Patient refuses to show true colors. 1.3750 0.07516 72 51 15 6
2497 I just feel like nobody sees the real me... like I'm invisible 1.3750 0.06975 80 56 18 6
2498 I’ve gotten by in life by conforming 1.3750 0.06745 80 55 20 5
2499 The thing is George, I don't look blue 1.3750 0.07251 72 50 17 5
2500 I havent been myself lately 1.3750 0.06000 80 52 26 2
2501 I can never seem to stand out 1.3750 0.06258 80 53 24 3
2502 Doc, I have a problem, I change myself too much to fit in with those around me. I don’t know who I am anymore. 1.3750 0.07217 64 43 18 3
2503 therapist notes: “She doesn’t feel comfortable in her own skin” 1.3750 0.07415 80 58 14 8
2504 Are you doodling me as a caricature? 1.3750 0.06493 64 41 22 1
2505 Why do you think people don’t see the real you? 1.3750 0.06745 80 55 20 5
2506 I don’t look at it as always changing I see it as evolving. 1.3750 0.07553 64 44 16 4
2507 I can't hide my intentions this well 1.3750 0.07217 64 43 18 3
2508 Gary surreptitiously peered over his therapist's notepad and saved himself a number of sessions. 1.3736 0.06376 91 63 22 6
2509 And how do you feel about the decorator who chose the fabric? 1.3735 0.06575 83 57 21 5
2510 Just because blending in comes naturally to me doesn't make it any less stressful. 1.3735 0.06575 83 57 21 5
2511 My mother tells me I should stand out a bit more 1.3735 0.06575 83 57 21 5
2512 Patient left without her emotional-support chameleon. 1.3733 0.06514 75 50 22 3
2513 Who am I and where am I going? 1.3733 0.06785 75 51 20 4
2514 Let's see, you said you feel it's time for a change? 1.3733 0.06231 75 49 24 2
2515 I’m afraid that your resistance to blend in may be futile. 1.3733 0.06514 75 50 22 3
2516 You've aspired to be authentic? Not in your DNA. 1.3733 0.07045 75 52 18 5
2517 Your decision to recover your couch to match my skin has really put me at ease. 1.3733 0.06231 75 49 24 2
2518 Tell me doc., how come I match the upholstery wherever I go, it's driving me crazy! 1.3733 0.06785 75 51 20 4
2519 I just want to stand out from the crowd, but I don’t know how. 1.3733 0.06514 75 50 22 3
2520 I really hate change 1.3733 0.06514 75 50 22 3
2521 Do you think you might be projecting? 1.3733 0.05935 75 48 26 1
2522 Don’t write that down doc, I wasn’t feeling like myself. 1.3733 0.06514 75 50 22 3
2523 I'm sorry, but this change in your coverage means I can longer see you. 1.3731 0.07001 67 45 19 3
2524 Do you see your parents much? 1.3731 0.07317 67 46 17 4
2525 Your willingness to change exhibits a pattern of real progress. 1.3731 0.07001 67 45 19 3
2526 I think I may have changed a little too much 1.3731 0.06140 67 45 20 2
2527 So, you say you're a lizard. 1.3731 0.07317 67 46 17 4
2528 Tell me more about why your feelings of invisibility. 1.3731 0.07001 67 45 19 3
2529 Just when I start blending in at parties and enjoying myself, I go and nail a fly with my tongue. 1.3731 0.07619 67 47 15 5
2530 So tell me... when did these feelings of being overlooked and ignored begin? 1.3731 0.07317 67 46 17 4
2531 ...and don't you dare tell me to just be myself! 1.3731 0.07001 67 45 19 3
2532 And you say it happened the night you returned home from the Galapagos? 1.3731 0.07317 67 46 17 4
2533 Quit playing games, Martha. You can't hide from me. 1.3731 0.07619 67 47 15 5
2534 I do believe you may have taken my suggestion to make yourself comfortable too literally. 1.3731 0.06322 67 43 23 1
2535 Tell me, at what point did you begin to believe you were a Psychiatrist. 1.3731 0.07619 67 47 15 5
2536 Do you think this pattern makes me look fat? 1.3729 0.07606 59 40 16 3
2537 I don't know, Doc. I want to stand out from the crowd, you know, but I just feel like I'm always part of the scenery. 1.3729 0.07212 59 39 18 2
2538 Please tell me more about your relation with your Tiger Mom 1.3729 0.07212 59 39 18 2
2539 I feel like no one can really see me. 1.3729 0.06794 59 38 20 1
2540 S-t-e-r-e-o-p-s-i-s... 1.3729 0.06794 59 38 20 1
2541 Doc, I am afraid that real change is lot harder for me than you would suppose. 1.3721 0.06626 86 60 20 6
2542 So, let's discuss your fear of plaids. 1.3718 0.07093 78 55 17 6
2543 I'm just trying to blend in. 1.3718 0.06607 78 53 21 4
2544 I’ve always been such a wallflower.” 1.3718 0.06082 78 51 25 2
2545 So, how have you been adapting? 1.3718 0.07093 78 55 17 6
2546 Suddenly Gary regretted his decision to sneak back in to see what the doctor writes about him. 1.3718 0.07548 78 57 13 8
2547 But I thought that was the whole point? I changed my patterns, already. We're finished here, doc. 1.3718 0.06607 78 53 21 4
2548 Have we decided that when people call us a monster, it says more about them than it does about us? 1.3718 0.06607 78 53 21 4
2549 No disrespect, Doc, but your look could stand some freshening up too. 1.3718 0.06854 78 54 19 5
2550 Lie back down—the next patient requires shock therapy. 1.3718 0.07765 78 58 11 9
2551 I have it under control, I swear. I can stop anytime I want! 1.3718 0.06854 78 54 19 5
2552 I can still see you, Liz. 1.3718 0.06350 78 52 23 3
2553 I see you took our last discussion on Self-Actualization very seriously." 1.3714 0.07385 70 49 16 5
2554 Well I'm impressed... but let's talk about your mother. 1.3714 0.07385 70 49 16 5
2555 Well,lots of lizards have mother abandonment issues. 1.3714 0.06801 70 47 20 3
2556 So,Robert…how has the LSD microdosing trial been working out? 1.3714 0.07099 70 48 18 4
2557 Perhaps I may have been a little too transparent. 1.3714 0.06801 70 47 20 3
2558 So how's the new couch? 1.3714 0.07099 70 48 18 4
2559 You're right, doc. The more I sit here and reflect, the more I see the patterns. 1.3714 0.07099 70 48 18 4
2560 What's the point of being in a blended family when you never see each other? 1.3714 0.07385 70 49 16 5
2561 If I told her I could change, do you think she'd forgive me? 1.3714 0.07385 70 49 16 5
2562 After all these years,now you tell me this is involuntary 1.3714 0.07099 70 48 18 4
2563 What makes you think you don’t fit in 1.3714 0.06490 70 46 22 2
2564 You’re so right. My whole life has been a series of shades and patterns. 1.3714 0.07385 70 49 16 5
2565 Things to do: reupholster the couch. 1.3714 0.07660 70 50 14 6
2566 I feel like everything's always changing too fast 1.3710 0.07708 62 43 15 4
2567 I feel invisible 1.3710 0.06988 62 41 19 2
2568 I wish I were a leopard. 1.3710 0.06988 62 41 19 2
2569 I don't "identify" as a couch. I am your floral couch. 1.3710 0.07357 62 42 17 3
2570 How old were you when you began feeling ignored and invisible around others? 1.3710 0.06988 62 41 19 2
2571 I feel like I hide from my problems 1.3710 0.06988 62 41 19 2
2572 Can you clarify what you mean by 'never seeing your Father around.'? 1.3710 0.07357 62 42 17 3
2573 I think you have to embrace it. Change is good. 1.3710 0.06988 62 41 19 2
2574 So, what do you mean when you say people don't "see" you? 1.3710 0.07357 62 42 17 3
2575 You seem to be very impressionable. 1.3710 0.06988 62 41 19 2
2576 People often say I never exhibit my true colors. 1.3704 0.06904 81 57 18 6
2577 I don’t think I could pull off the stripped pants, plaid coat look. 1.3704 0.06677 81 56 20 5
2578 Why do you feel 'not seen?' 1.3704 0.08482 54 38 12 4
2579 My girlfriend doesn't see me anymore. 1.3704 0.06677 81 56 20 5
