I was just wondering if anyone else has a similar love-hate relationship with music...

I feel that if I don't have something playing in the background it's much easier for me to get lost in my thoughts and end up daydreaming. But if I play something that gets me really pumped up then I want to get up and dance/exercise instead of working.

I've found that repetitive stuff like the soundtrack from The Social Network or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo helps me focus better, at least for a longer while.

I'm really curious if this is something related to BPD or if I'm just weird lol. I think it might be because part of what makes music work for me is that I try to "mimic" the mood of it (you know how they say we are social chameleons and all that) and that can hype me up or make me super focused.

For example, [this really helps me to get in the mood for work](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY2VADkYanQ). It's amazing how I feel the fog in my mind immediately clears up as soon as it starts playing.
