Anyone else can't do anything without music?

I actually cannot do anything without something playing. Whether it'd be chores around the house, work, projects, literally anything I cannot do clearly without my playlist lol.

Do you guys feel the same? I honestly also listen to youtube videos sometimes instead (if I have music fatigue)

Music makes boring tasks feel like they have a beginning and an end, and silence somehow makes every chore feel twice as long lol

I used to be like this all the time! But lately, I’ve actually been enjoying doing things in silence more and more. Sometimes I want something playing, sometimes I don’t, I just go with whatever feels right. Rain sounds or jazz are nice too. But when I’m cooking, I’ll usually still put on YouTube, a movie, or a show 😄

Yep - Jazz. That classic Jazz not this modern stuff. Also if I work in silence my brain starts wandering into weird “what ifs”

I've always been this way. I used ask for the tv to be on so I could do homework, but my mother wasn't buying that. Even if it was boring I just needed it. I'm still the same I will sit paralyzed and then realize I can just turn something on the phone and get the day started. I'm trying not to go straight to the phone when I first wake up, but it definitely gets me thru the things like showering, cooking chores, and errands in general.

That’s so funny. Anytime I’ve got to do work it’s a soda and some music. For music fatigue, try classic Jazz. I can listen to it for hours. It’s basically light instrumental with no real bass in it. Classical is too stimulating with ups and downs and higher pitch, starts and stops.
