Oy. I think that I shall just follow you around now and comment on all of your threads.
Bet you wish that you'd never written on my 'Type Me' thread- it's like treating the nerdy kid well. You think that you're doing a good deed but then they become so emotionally clingy that you end up going crazy.

Yes, I very much relate to what you're talking about. I will say that not as much with the music thing- for me, the veil lifts a lot more when I'm reading a book that really 'hits it' for me- something that I really love in literature. Other than that, I feel a really deep sense of apathy and overall... emptiness as well. As you said, I don't necessarily think that it's depression-related. There are times in my life when I have been a lot more 'down' and 'blue' than I would consider myself to be now. However, it's still sort of interesting to be experiencing this. All my emotions feel like music heard through the floorboards. I feel the same things, but they feel really faint, like I'm feeling things I felt a hundred years ago. Nothing's very strong. My mom got really upset at me about a week ago and was saying some things that I intellectually realize are probably really hurtful, and maybe at another time would have made me feel really down. But now... it was like water off my back. I feel nothing strongly, or, as you said, conciously. I've sort of viewed it as a positive thing, though.
