I also read recently that when you are humming your brain is engaged in that and you cannot perseverate or worry about other things.

Hmmm, Hmm, Hmm, Hmm, Hmmmmmmm, Hmmm (and so on).

I must either be unusually good at humming or unusually good at worrying then.

OTOH, I don’t like to hear other people humming, possibly because they are frequently off key.

Good for my mental health, yes. Bad for that of everyone around me.

Humming is like vampiric bloodsucking. I steal the mental health of others to boost my own.
