    My mum (who tbh is honestly otherwise really kind and understanding) once made fun of me being into “video game music” to some of her friends.

    I’m only just now getting back into listening to music and trying to figure out what I like, rather than avoiding listening to new music at all.

      I recently listened to a former atheist talk about coming to an Islamic conclusion while on DMT about music being bad because it’s a cheap way of trying to replicate a spiritual experience, similar to the use of DMT for recreational use. It’s not always bad because in art it can be used to convey what the creator is trying to get across, but sitting around listening to music could certainly be negative. The guy said this in the video well, but engaging in mystical spiritual experiences for its own sake will ultimately lead nowhere and leads people to retreat into their own heads and accomplish nothing in the world and become reclusive.

    I had the lovely combo of getting mocked and ridiculed by both “friends” and “family” for sharing my tastes and interests, and now I struggle to share them with people and in spaces that seem safe, but my stupid fear and anxiety keeps me from reaching out 😅
