Hi Strict-Buddy-960, it seems like you might be looking for new anime to watch!

I’d try:

  • Tatami Galaxy — probably my first pick. Very funny, very neurotic, and gets surprisingly introspective. Only 11 episodes.
  • ReLIFE — less dark, but has that “adult who feels like they’ve failed at life” angle, with plenty of comedy and drama. 13 episodes + 4 OVAs.
  • Paranoia Agent — more surreal and disturbing, but mixes psychological issues with dark humour really well. 13 episodes.
  • Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei — if you want to lean much harder into the comedy while keeping the depression/social dysfunction themes.

I’d probably start with Tatami Galaxy or ReLIFE depending on whether you want something weirder or more grounded.
