Not sure why you’re being shit on so hard in the comments. Speaking as someone who’s pretty guilty of soft ghosting people, including longtime friends. I don’t really mean to do it. I lie to myself and say I’ll reply later. Reason why I’m not replying at the time usually being lack of energy. My worldview is so bleak and warped from what it used to be that it’s unrecognizable. Sometimes I feel like why bother replying, I’ve got nothing new and if they ask how I’m doing it’ll just bring them down with the same old shit. My texting is mostly mechanical. Order ready for pickup, meeting location/time, etc. And I’m getting tired of tacking on positive lies to keep the vibe acceptable. “…but I’m making things work”, “…but I’m doing alright”, “…but things will get better soon I’m sure.”

It sounds like they’re already doing the work.

My driving playlists are usually about 30h long, and I switch them up drastically once or twice a year. If it’s any shorter I start to notice the repetitions too often. My masterlist of everything is about 150h. I wouldn’t say I like everything, but my taste is pretty diverse. I do get “taken” by a single song at times, but I like to mix it up as much as I can. Most people’s taste is formed and set to what they were listening to in their teens and 20s. There’s nothing wrong with that, I just have a fear of stagnation myself.
