Was it the worst?" is a saying or phrase which could be displaying uncertainty and in context of the song, insecurity- further lyrics such as "I'd do anything for you, Mrs. Highness," seems like the person is addicted to approval in a sense. This may sound wrong, but it for sure feels like the lyrics are making a connection between mental illness' relationship with common drug abuse and 'addiction'.
"I only talk to dogs because they don't understand me" very much sounds like the person is only able to talk and 'vent' in a way to another living creature (a dog) that can feel emotion towards someone, but nonetheless, cannot understand them; the inability to communicate their feelings to another person has to do with the fact that they cannot socially understand their struggle, but more so because in addiction to approval and struggle with insecurity (and obviously in a literal sense of addictions to drugs, etc), they do not want to be shut out by the average ("normal") people who are the societal beings of ultimate judgement. This closely relates to the idea of mental illness portrayal and later in the lines "My teeth are yellow, hello world
Would you like me a little better if they were white like yours? I need to purge my urges, shame, shame, shame”. These lines, once again, describe (possible) drug abuse and with context, assumed that drug abuse stemmed from the person's struggle with mental illness, they are upset in the way that their coping mechanism is not deemed 'okay' but any other strategy is seen in the same light, ultimately causing the person to struggle in getting back to the 'norm' of society if they are not given the chance to.
