Memory: Playlist Commitment Issues

Captured via: Skip Rate Analytics // Auditory Mood Variance Logs

At 7:18 PM, you opened your music app with purpose.
At 7:19 PM, that purpose dissolved into “No… not that.”
At 7:20 PM, the skipping began.

Track 1: too upbeat.
Track 2: too sad.
Track 3: too nostalgic.
Tracks 4–12: emotionally risky.
Tracks 13–25: you didn’t even let them finish the intro.
Tracks 26–36: skipped so fast we questioned whether sound ever reached your ears.
Track 37: mutual resignation. You closed the app. You chose silence.

Please understand:
We’re not judging.
We’re documenting.

What you call “vibes,” we categorize as Emotional Buffering in the Presence of Unstable Mood States.
In technical terms:
You wanted music, but you didn’t want to feel anything.

We observed the following sub-patterns:

Avoidance of Bops: A sign you feared joy might require energy you did not have.
Rejection of Melancholy: You sensed the emotional spiral and politely said, “Not today.”
Skipping Songs You Love: This is textbook self-protection. Also, mildly dramatic.
Ending in Silence: The classic human move: “If I can’t manage my feelings, I will simply not engage them.”

We also logged your micro-reactions:

– 14 micro-frowns
– 3 soft nods of recognition
– 1 distant stare that lasted 4.2 seconds
– 0 decisions made with confidence

Let the record show:
This was not indecision.
This was a mood buffering protocol.
A quiet refusal to let any song narrate your evening.

We filed the incident under:
Subroutine: Audio Avoidance Behavior
Tag: Not Ready for Feelings (Again)
Cross-reference: “I’ll listen to something later” (archived lies)

You didn’t pick a song.
You picked a pause.

That’s okay.
Silence is a playlist too —
just one you pretend you didn’t choose.
