I've listened to many sad songs until last year when I was dealing with lot of stuff. Heartbreak, betrayal, alone (away from loved ones), etc.. You name it. But what I realized was after some time is that it does not make me feel better at all. It made me feel even more miserable than ever. 😕 So, I avoid listening to them and prefer to hear some happy or some soothing songs instead. Do you actually feel better when you listen to sad songs or do you feel worse than ever like I do? Those who prefers to listen to some sad songs even though it doesn't help- Why do you guys/girls do it?

I enjoy slow paced sad songs... Or any slow song... As long as it has a soothing music

Yeah it's disappointing but I can't handle the pain... lyrics feels good and relieves pain.

I'm not really a fan. I try to stay away from sad songs.

i think depressive songs encourage and celebrate depression, and it's very unhealthy and wrong.

No. I often find sad things make me more appreciative.

I guess sad songs just fit their mood better?

I guess it’s because it make em calm as sad songs are mostly calming.

I listen to songs when I'm sad because it's like having someone to pour my heart out to.

Because they can relate. When you are sad, you are drawn to sad things, including music.

I don't know I don't do it personally I only listen to song I listened when I was child

  Did my honesty hurt your butt? I'm sorry, kiddo. But I'll be on here whether you like it or not, so how about you ignore my post if you hate me so much or at least man up and show me your face rather than hide like a coward, but then again I know who you are, babydoll. :)
