Spending time with yourself and music-taste:

First I: Tarkovsky once said that people young in age, should spend more time with themselves.
The first time I heard it. I was still asking me why I didn't knew what I wanted in life.
Now that I am a few things more wiser, I can tell what I think he meant using a simple example: My music taste.

Spending some time alone, being bored, not getting distracted or just being alone distracted. All those things sometimes sound quite bored to myself. Usually I am very social, someone who loves to hang out with his mates. But also gets distracted from himself. What I mean is that my Friends also represent a good way of escaping myself from being alone. This means that it is to easy to be in company and hard to be alone.

You can so many things about yourself. Much more than you can learn in others. Thats why I think my music taste is so much of a personal thing. When I am zone I love listening to music. What I see is that I listen to a lot of stuff which i've encountered in these last years. But really about every moment I've lived consciously. What I understand is that I have a quite big spectrum of genres, which I cover with different kinds of music. Bossa Nova, Hip Hop. Latinoamerican music, Jazz, Folk, Rock,
Cultmusic, Filmmusic, Experimental music, Old Music, Popular Music, Ethnic Music.
After some years of independent music listening, through download pages, youtube, sound cloud or the radio, I have directed my attention towards multiple kinds of music.
I've also made up mown way of listening to music, which I'll only understand myself.
What the rest of people listen for in music, will always be a big clue. I just listen for myself.
People who I evolve around with music, seem to do it also in their own way. And it is certainly because their time listening to music alone. That is the only thing I can advise. Be yourself alone for a while. Even if you do spend time alone learn to appreciate it and use it for your advantage.
A good thing, which helped me a lot these last months, is to not have Facebook. It got my out of the confort zone. Now I notice I am even capable of leaving whats app.
I'll compromise, and keep being on whats app. But I have developed the will of staying as much of it as I can until I learn to be with myself and profit from it. The good thing is that soon I'll go on vacation with my friends. That means that I'll have the liberty to socialise authentically when it is the best moment to do so.
