First, apologies if this isn’t appropriate for a community called “casual conversation”. I just don’t know of another conversational community to post in. I am more than happy to delete this on request.


Does anyone out there seem to get addicted to their bad moods? Like, you’ve been feeling down on and off for a week. Instead of seeking out media, conversations, etc. that you know you like and makes you happy, you’d prefer to keep absorbing unhappy media and talking about unhappy things to keep you unhappy. It’s almost like you begin to enjoy being unhappy and you don’t want it to stop. What the fuck is even that though? Are some people just meant to be insufferable like that? I don’t understand why this happens. When I’m happy, I want to continue to be happy. When I’m down, I want to continue to be down even if there is no discernible reason.

Just curious on your thoughts. Thanks for your time.

    I often look at the music in my collection and think I must be addicted to depression because 90% of my music is depressing shit about how life sucks, how suicide would be a great option, or how love is a lie.

    I don’t seek out music that is angry or sad; I just click more with anything where the artist’s emotions are clearly present in the music, and there just doesn’t seem to be a helluva lot of happy music that actually has passion behind it and isn’t some corporate pop shit.
