I don’t know if it’s related to autism, but I can’t listen to music just like if it was a white noise like most people do, if I play something I get very emotional about it, my mind changes completely and when I stop listening I kind of feel bad and depressed. I wonder if it’s related to autism or some kind of over-stimulation or something. I feel like any music I listen to touches my soul. And that’s not good because sometimes I just want to chill but I get way too attached to the playing song.
So I’m barely listening to music lately because I’m trying to keep my emotional neutral.
For what it’s worth, there’s no such thing as rational/emotionless decisions. It’s better to be aware of yourself and your own biases than it is to try and cut your emotions off.
Which is very different from being overstimulated / emotional. I personally keep movies/tv to a minimum because of how much it affects me, not to mention the ones that are completely unwatchable because of how much they press my buttons.
I think it’s okay to lower the amount of music you listen to, especially if it becomes too much. Gotta take care of yourself for sure.
