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.

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.
