When I'm not 100% together and content, why do I have a tendency to listen to songs that make me feel even worse looped?

... It's not that they're triggery or something. It's really the melody. I can't listen to anything else because I'm not in the mood for it, but, by listening to these songs looped, they only reinforce the mood, or something.

... Eh. I don't know. Half awake rambles of a half-awake Stel.

I don't know, but you're not alone there. You'd think the logic would lie in listening to HAPPY music when you're depressed, but I listen to shit that sounds like some tragic funeral, like "Hallelujah" and "Greensleeves" and "The Boxer". When it SHOULD be some of that HORRIBLE NIHONGO METAL THAT YOU SENT ME. XDDDD God I haven't been online long enough to talk but I did listen to that and OH THE WTF'S FLYING OUT MY WINDOW. XDDD Excellent.

I know though, looping is UNHEALTHY. It' like O.Ding on drugs. O__o Just remember, too much fof ANYTHING CAN BE BAD. XDDD The more of a sad song you hear, the sadder you become. Also, people are suckers for punishment it seems. It hurts, SO. GOOD.

Yep... Definitely not alone. I guess it's fairly normal for people in off moods to listen to music that reflect these moods, eh? I know I do. There are a handful of songs I'll loop when I'm feeling mrghy that generally don't help "solve" the problem. If anything, they extent it and/or make it worse.

I guess it probably is just looking for something to reflect our state of mind... Humans are strange creatures. I agree with the notion that sometimes we seem to indirectly/unintentionally -seek out- punishment, or things we know won't help. We just stop giving a damn, and it's oddly comforting at the time... kinda like a drug, yeah.

Fun times.
