>> This gives you a simple way to reflect on your interaction and communication throughout the day.

Isn't trying to overthink every communication you had throughout the day going to be unhealthy rather than being helpful? People who are people pleasers are on the risk of being addicted to this thing.

Yep, that's exactly what social anxiety is: you stress out over how you have interacted with people over the day and their perception of you because of your interactions. It's a genuine mental illness, and shit like this is how you contract it.
This device is intended to help with social anxiety issues.

In real-time, while you're currently interacting with someone, it can offer a helpful "WARNING! YOU SEEM ANXIOUS. CALM YOURSELF. OTHERS MAY CURRENTLY BE PERCEIVING YOU AS ANXIOUS."

Problem solved. Thanks, technology!
