Singing all the time
74% Normal

Hello everyone,
I only listen to very upbeat, catchy pop songs and I can't live without music. When I don't play any music, I begin singing. I sing non-stop, whether I am studying, surfing the Web, or cooking, and there is always a song playing in my head. It's very annoying and I think it interferes with my learning and prevents me from being successful at school. I also love recording my voice on the computer and playing with different voice editing programs to enhance my voice. Is this normal, and how do I stop it?
Do you think it's normal?

I too have this problem, I permanently have a song playing in my head and I'm usually singing it. At first I got pretty freaked out and had trouble sleeping, but eventually I just got used to it. Its like I have a personal ipod in my head, and I can change songs easily, like nothing gets stuck anymore. I have come to realize it isn't a problem, and if you just accept it its actually a good thing.

I do this too. I think it's okay. Why would you want to stop a gift?
Pshaw..................

Sure - radio head - me too. Why fight it like that is a bad thing? To me it suggests you have a strong sense of musicality and rather than deny it could give yourself expression. Bird gotta fly, fish gotta swim ...

I liked the suggestion you take up music, singing or playing an instrument. Take lessons. Enjoy it.

I do that because I love it! And you don't have to play an instrument for any other reason. Maybe you'd be better able to focus on other things if you scratched your musical itch.

I think this sort of thing should be classified as a disorder. I can relate, but I got over it. If you use drugs and alcohol, leave them alone. I know your friends mean the world to you, but you're headed for the wrong planet if they keep you from getting necessities done. Focus on the necessities first. Being homeless is neither fun nor romantic.
