I catch myself humming improvised songs as a distraction.
That's the classic, yeah. If you catch me singing the Bubble Bobble tune in the shower it's because I'm deep in some past trauma.
If I’m in the car I sing loudly, Disney Princess style, without concern for rhyming- “That was a very weird thing you said back there! Everyone thinks you’re very weird now! You did your best, but it was strange! But it’s ok! It’s fine. It’s going to be fine! Is going to be ok! “
You too huh?
I don't know when or why it started - my thoughts'll start drifting toward unfortunate memories and I suddenly find myself doing this thing sort of somewhere between humming and scat singing. And it's always made up - I don't hum real songs (presumably because that wouldn't be enough to distract me).
It's to the point that the two things are sort of reversed in my mind, so instead of recognizing an uncomfortable memory then catching myself humming, I catch myself humming so realize I just remembered something uncomfortable.
Pea-nuuuuuts to you
