I wonder if I'm dead inside

Check the label on your vitamins. The chewable ones that they sell for bariatric patients are usually sweetened with maltitol and sorbitol and those can cause terrible gas.
A quick and easy trick to get rid of gas is to get your head to the level of your knees for about ten seconds. I bend over to tie my shoes or adjust my socks, stay in that position for ten seconds and when I straighten up the gas is usually gone. It naturally rises towards your head. When your head is lower than your butt, it will escape with no noise or smell. Learning this saved me from a lot of embarrassment.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
