I used to listen to music all the time but now I rarely do, and when I do it makes me feel a certain way, where I like it but I also want to turn it

Girl! It's as if I wrote this. It started for me around late 2023. And I used to be a huge fan of music, it was the biggest part of my emotional life, I used to have ecstatic outbursts just from listening certain songs. Now I have periods when it's almost like noise and I can't connect emotionally.

Relateable!

I don't listen to it even half as much as I once did, usually only if I'm in the car or on a road trip or some such.

Can't imagine having that amount of noise being streamed into my ears and brain all the time. I must have my quiet and peace.🏞

You should not be concerned at all. True music lovers, like me, music is very emotional. What you are dealing with musically, is normal. The music (or whatever you feel like listening to) that you're in the mood for is exactly that; mood. As life changes, so does your "moods", so what you feel like listening to will change also. Don't fret. You're all good

I love music, I did have a time I couldn’t listen to it, music makes you feel, I’m highly sensitive and felt numb. 😬 I couldn’t handle it at the time.

When I listen at home, I prefer instrumental or classical music. I focus on individual sections such as strings, brass, woodwinds, etc.
In the truck, I like to sing-a-long and harmonize. But when they play the same songs over and over from a corporate national playlist, I have to shut it off.

I seriously could not live without music. It's my world.
