Do you listen to sad music when you're sad?

[ghostqueen]

Yes

No

[brendon76]

I’m a classic rock and metal fan but oh when I’m sad I’ll listen to something like Journey ballads or even Adele. I never thought I’d listen to someone like Adele but man can she sing exactly how I’m feeling. Although I can’t decide if it’s a healthy thing to listen to sad music when I’m sad. This last time it happened to me and I chose to listen to Adele, I think it just prolonged how I felt because those songs got stuck in my head and then I wants to hear more. So I’m not yet convinced it’s a good thing but it is reassuring to know I’m not alone in how I feel. 😕

The main reason that I listen to sad songs is because the lyrics are relatable and I know I'm not alone. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep to feel better in the morning knowing that I'll wake up alone and go to college alone, eat alone and come home alone, and repeat. I fucked up most of my chances with girls that are attracted to me and none of them are willing to give me a second chance because of my failed attempts and bad "first impressions", so yeah, I listen to sad songs when I'm down only to feel better.

[The_FallenOne]

Omg! I thought I was the only one who listend to sad music when they were sad.

Listning to sad music makes me feel better because I can relate the artist. Just knowing they've stood in your shoes and they understand what it's like is somewhat conferting.

[The_FallenOne]

Then agan I listen to sad music all the time. I like just dark music. alternitive and rock/metal/scremo.

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

yes but I've been trying to break myself of that because a lot of times, once I'm better I get that song stuck in my head and it makes me sad again.

[Julia420]

I only listen to sad music... think that says something about my mood

[The_FallenOne]

Haha same

[CoffeeWC]

I listen to music all the time. I don't really need a reason to listen to music.

[tangerinefan1050]

I listen to sad music even when I'm not sad hahaha. They have good melodies.

Some of my favorite tunes with a "sad" feel to them are:

1. At the Daybreak - Origen
2. Elegy - Longzijun
3. Died Again - Petja Heiskanen (TAGAP OST)
4. Worse than a dead penguin, is an undead one - Petja Heiskanen (TAGAP 2 OST).

I used to but it only make my mood more sad and I stay sad much longer. Initially I listen to no music and when I'm up for I try to put on something that really energises me like some really good Metal to release some negative energy and some (psy-) trance to get some good energy going and put a smile back in my face.

[SGL69]

When my wife told me she wanted a divorce I not only cried but played sad songs like Please Don't Go and I Can't Stop Loving You. Loud so she could hear. Didn't help. I found out one thing no one knew anything was up till I told them 2 months later. Boy were people surprised how I never showed any signs anything was wrong.

[SirRexington]

Sometimes, though I usually listen to high energy/rage type music that embodies the pain and anger I'm feeling.

[NessyTheMonster]

Yeah always, the sadder the better. It's my therapy I guess.

[beast25179]

I listen to sad music when I am sad and change it up to try to increase my mood sometimes successful sometimes not but I always have my friends online that can help cheer me up if I am really feeling low and they are the best ones to help me

[StrangerByTheDay]

When I need to feel good, I just listen to my favorite albums, they are mostly rock and alternative music from the 90s.
The sounds and vibrations i get from the songs just give me shivers and help me relax, thus, releasing the stress and anxiety.

[Pamina]

Yes. Happy music just pisses me off when I'm sad.

Actually, happy music pisses me off even when I'm happy. Fuck happy music.

[Aynsof]

Sometimes
Other times angry music
Guess it depends what sort of sad I am feeling

[motownplayer2000]

Nah, I try to use it as motivation and be productive.

[TheNoOne]

No if I am upset or annoyed I listen to loud rock or upbeat pup. Taylor swift is a good go to music when you need a boost.

[SOOCute]

I always do this! It makes me feel like at least one other person on the planet gets what I'm going through

[toxo1234]

Yes I do. I throw on so edsheran and Passenger etc on pandora.

[AlexBlack007]

Nah, I listen to music just to turn my thoughts away from the cause of sadness so it's just my usual favorite music. :)

[Lee06]

Yeah. It makes me cry so afterwards it’s all good again.

[Mexicoman101]

Sometimes, other times I listen to like, love songs or try to feel happy songs or listen to classical music.

[Udbhav_Bantwal]

Most of the songs I listen to are sad songs and I'm always sad so I guess I do listen to sad songs when I'm sad but it's by default...

[walkit]

It gives me way to intense sucidal thoughts that linger in my mind for days

[Leo3572]

Depends on how sad. I only listen to sad music when I'm realy mind breaking sad. Luckily this doesn't happen so often. Else I just think about the reason why I'm sad and then I put it simply away.
