How different of a person would you be without music?

I wouldn't be a drummer and would still be playing a lot of video games, I suppose. Also, I'd still be wondering what the big deal was with music.

I'd probably be an emotional wreck, very likely a deceased one.

Seems a bit extreme but I don't think I would be a different person at all.

meh, music isn't all srs bzn to me like it is for the rest of you guys.

Oh I could never kill myself, that doesn't make any sense to me. I used music as a turning point to replace something else that would have killed me by now for sure.

it's gotten to the point where music has become a huge emotional outlet for me - i cry if i hear certain songs, get angry to some songs, get huge joy from some, smug from some, and comedy from others, and also twitching my body uncontrollably to others

A very boring, one-dimensional one I imagine.

^^perhaps, but then my meds make me emotionally flat so I need all the emotions I can get

If it weren't for music, I would probably be a completely different person. Music itself has taught me a lot of things, patience being one of those things. I've never really been a patient person when it comes to a lot of things in life, but i've learned to get over that with some songs I have heard in the past that go on and on that lead to something exciting. Along with that, music has helped me get through some tough stages in my life, without it...I have no idea where I would be right now.

I can't say what I'd be like without a love for music other than that, because I really don't know and don't care to.

It's saving me now. I would have swallowed those pills a long time ago if I didn't listen.

I would not have something to keep me busy and I would not have the hobbies and friends I have now.
