Are the type of person who listens to music when you have a problem or sad? What type of music do you listen to? Since I was young, I've noticed that I get comfort from music whenever I have problems that I don't want to share. I just stay in my room and listen to music that makes me happy. Now, I've had several albums in my ipad of types of musics and genres that I could listen whenever I wanted. Are you these type of person too?

Sometimes I do listen to music when I'm sad and feeling down. I prefer pop music. It makes me forget those problems for a while. There are also times that I just go to sleep and ignore those things that make me depressed. Each of us has different ways to make ourselves happy despite the fact that we are actually sad.

when i am sad or really tired, i tend to listen to classical music because i find it soothing. i am all over the board in my tastes in music. i love jazz, big band, rock, classic rock, techno, and classical but it just depends what my mood is that day.

When I am sad or depressed, I will sometimes listen to music. Mostly classical, relaxing music. Sometimes, I will listen to other types of musics. But generally, I will simply listen to the type of music that I feel like listening to, whether it's classical music or something completely different. It just depends in the sort of mood that I'm in.

Yes, I am. research had shown that music has an uplifting spirit into our soul. A part in our brain would be rekindle if we are going to listen into a song that will make us happy. When I am down I usually listen to music that will boost my mood.

When I am sad and feel that I am turning down, I just rely to music. The music that I listen to are love songs and Rnb. I am relieved whenever I listen to my favorite songs. Its as if they are my friends who comforts me because they know I am not okay. Music is a big help to me in almost everything I have been through.

I listen to music when I feel nervous or while driving. It help me to calm down and become more focus. Musics like instrumental or orchestra work best. But when I feel sad or depressed, I need chocolate, not music.

Throughout my life, there have been many tough situations that I've had to deal with and I've definitely found that music is one of the things that will help me to deal with these stresses in my life. With that said, I would say that the majority of the music that I listen to is country music. However, I really do have all different genres of music on my personal playlist.

Well, since I am greatly into music I do listen to music all the time. And since, I DJ on the side on weekends, I do listen to music as well when I am angry or bored. I listen to music all the time due to the fact that I love music period.

I always listen to gospel or worship songs whenever i feel sad and depressed. They somewhat assures me that problems are part of life and that they are to make us stronger and we only have to ask for the Lord's help in addition to our effort of solving them.

I enjoy listening to music.I forget myself and start dancing when im in a good mood.When im upset,i prefer privacy.While in such a mood i enjoy music only certain times while some times its seems annoying.It also depends on the type of music at that point of time.But on the whole i love music.I listen to my ipod songs when i travel.

yes.. i like it very much... in my point of view music is a very good friend.. I think never share your pain with others ... because it may be help you in that moment to feel happy or stress out but other hand your weakness is shared.. people may be take ac chance with it... generally sad songs touch my heart very quickly and i love to listing sad song but apart from this i also like some rock songs and romantic song an folk song very much...

When I feel happy, I will listen to the music, when I feel sad, I listen to the music too, but different types. Music makes me feel peaceful. I love classical music, but when I have a problem, I need foucs, so I don't listen to anything.
