I used to be extremely musical and to an extent still am. I play guitar among other things but being around other musical people has drained my interest in music. It also pains me that most of them seized opportunities (read my previous threads for more info) unlike me. This lead to my last 3 years of utter loneliness and isolation. It’s also quite sad considering that i’m actually quite good at music. I was always top of my class in music in elementary and middle school. But nowadays listening to music makes me too emotional that I can’t listen to it anymore. Sometimes listening to music makes me uncomfortable. Thus I have gradually stopped listening to music as much as I used to listen to and therefore I have started to lose interest in music in general. I feel like another reason is that I have become over saturated with music and I needed to get away for a while. Still what a shame. I could have been great.

I should probably. Then again it might trigger a psychosis or some shit in me. I’m not in the greatest mental state rn

Mine hasn’t because I don’t actively listen and seek different kinds of music anymore

‘weed psychosis’ isn’t even that common. micro dose if you’re that concerned. music sounds so much better when you’re stoned, everything feels layered, deeper, more alive. you actually ‘feel’ the sound instead of just hearing it, your brain locks onto every little instrument you wouldn’t normally hear when sober

I want to try weed, mushrooms etc but I don’t feel like I’m ready yet

I just get bored after a while of listening to similar things
I used to actively search different artists, albums, genres etc but nowadays I don’t and it sucks.

Today I walked to the gym with no music on which is out of the ordinary

I couldn’t find anything I wanted to listen to, maybe the same shits happening to me

I lost interest in that too. I couldn’t find people who shared the same artistic visions as me sadly

this will sound very stupid, but have you considered taking mdma and listened to music?

im sober now but i say this because i used to hate drum and bass, absolutely despised it. then one day a friend invites me to a rave, offers me a pill and i had the time of my life there. after that i had a new found love for dnb, which is surprising considering how much i used to hate it. obviously not saying its for everyone, but it changed music for me tbh

Yes but like I said I don’t feel ready yet to take drugs.
