Is listening to music to much bad for you?

About three months ago I got my iphone, and I downloaded all these music apps and I would just sit in my room in the dark listening to music, I really like it because it gives me piece to think about what's going on in my life, but a lot of people have mentioned that listening to music has changed me and I don't interact anymore, my girlfriend and family say that i look and sound depressed lately, also I've noticed every week or so I need to crank the volume a little hire so I can hear it better, I don't really talk to friends or family I really just keep to my self and my music, I listen everyday, a few times during school and then about 4-6 hours when I get home, is this bad for me? Should I stop listening to music?

Nope

There's no such thing as listening to too much music. I quite literally listen to music 20 out of 24 hours of the day, and it's helped me in life. Music isn't supposed to make you depressed, so perhaps look into your life a bit and search for other causes. Don't jump to blame on the music.

You shouldn't stop listening to music, but you should cut down on it. If you are really obsessed, try going to sleep while listening, and use the time during the day to interact with your family and friends.

Never stop listening to music if you feel good in doing so… Just reduce the time you spend in listening to music.

  • Why can I only concentrate when I'm listening to music? I find it quite hard to concentrate and i can only really concentrate when i listen to music. Why is this? Also how can I explain to my mum that it helps me concentrate because she's always taking my iphone away
  • What are some good free music listening apps for an iPhone? I have used the app spotify and did not care for it. I would still like find a app where you can find a song and listen to it for free. I already know of Pandora and use it but I want something that you can create your own playlist and listen to it for free.
  • Should I stop listening to grime music? I have loads of grime music on my iphone because I got into it early this year, but everytime I listen to it now I feel like i'm some sort of chav! I now think rap is much better and when you listen to rap you actually feel good, but when you listen to grime you feel like a chav! Not all grime, some is good. But yeah, what do you think, should I just stop listening completely? Or?
  • Listening to music with earplugs underwater, iPhone 5 lifeproof case? I have a lifeproof case and I wanna listen to music with standard iPhone 5 earplugs underwater. This means the headphones piece will be open with earplugs in. Will it keep my phone safe?
