  • When you’re angry, what general mood of music do you tend to gravitate to?

    I feel like angry uptempo stuff is better for when you are not angry enough about shit. I’ve never sought angry stuff out to reinforce anger, like the anger to me has always seemed like a symptom of boundaries not being in place to prevent greater harms or annoyances

    Absolutely NOT to discount anything here but thats my experience which has me curious about your position. Im interested in a general music mood theory but its tough stuff, everyone’s different and it seems challenging to universalize anything to any kind of global benefit or at least nominal effect





  • It can be problematic when there’s no established actual violation and you simply go along with whoever is doing the demanding…

    People who demand apologies are seldom the type who actually deserve apologies. Discernment is quite necessary here, if you apologize unduly, you are setting a pattern that helps establish the response they expect even when they act unreasonably or uncivilly.

    People who actually care about you and actually need the whole “showing them you care about them” are almost never the ones doing the demanding

    There’s a Catch-22 or tricky situation with that but you can avoid much of it by recognizing close people’s birthdays, anniversaries, or other inside dates of importance. I will say anybody who acts like you’re in trouble or deep shit if you dont recognize them for some random date, they are probably trouble you dont need. That date is a power they have harnessed you with









  • Im beyond glad to hear that about boundaries and having that breakthru for both of you in coming to understand that. Its a very rare thing honestly, its like the holy grail of mental health and overall wellness in my very humble findings. It wont necessarily make you well or whole but it will prevent others from taking you down any further and will ensure you have an upward trend focus going forward

    Keep going whenever you like by replying above this level so you can make a list for yourself to peruse whenever you need a boost for yourself and others can jump in if they have something helpful to supplement that

    Aside, lots of people end up with little or zero eventual relationship with their children because they dont realize how kids grow up and start having a choice and being able to curate their associations to the ones that allow them to feel safe and valued. Sounds like youre way ahead of the game on that one
