Haifagirl- when I said english music, I meant non- jewish music
shopping613 & kkls45- no you got me wrong. I love Benny Friedman. He’s my favorite singer. But, no matter how awesome a Jewish singer is, its a little hard to get totally excited and love his music, when you’d so much rather non- Jewish music
danish123Memberpba- it might not be. Thats my question. I’m also wondering how its possible to maintain strong boundaries for myself and not spiralling right back down from where I came from.
danish123MemberKkls45: ua thanks. But now that the inspiration has doed down a bit, i do find that im doubting myself bwcause i feel like maybe i did take upon myself something way too big. I mean i still listen to inspirational/ completely non-romance songs but in comparison to what i ised to listen to, its nothing. I think that i may have bitten something too big to chew. I also think that i just said that line wrong.
danish123MemberI personally stopped listening to english music last week. At first, I was on a high- but now, as the high wears off, Im just dying for this music. This weekend I was with friends who do listen to english music and although I told them a few times that I dont listen, they were blasting the radio etc. and it was extremely hard for me. I spent a week (ok so it doesnt sound so impressive but anyone who listens to music knows that thats a long time) deleting these songs from my head and now, after a weekend…theyre right back in. Its upsetting but I feel like if youre doing this and youre friends arent, you gotta be real strong and ready to stand up for yourself. And if ppl dont respect your “no listening” then you cant control them. Ppl will still play but you need to try to block it out or at least don’t get hana’ah out of it. Like the radio was playing and I knew most of the songs but even when my favorites came up, I wouldnt let myself sing along because then already I was enjoying it. Not sure if that speil made any sense whatsoever:)
danish123Memberwow! Thanks so much:)
I actually did speak to my mom recently about a guy I spoke to and she was really good about it. I’m happy I spoke to her- I really am.
danish123MemberNechoma: ya that was a good example. I totally hear what youre saying.
WIY: i understand what you said but i dont agree that if a child truly has hakoras hatov for their parents, they wouldnt do X,Y and Z. Because when most people (including myself) do those things, ots not usually to spite our parents; its usually something internal..
Haifagirl: thanks that was really sensitive of you
danish123MemberThanks and let me tell you. Its hard to stop but it gets so much easier. Trust me.
danish123MemberHi. I’m also a 16 year old. I just stopped listening to english music on Sat. night. I listened to all music- ranging from nice, slow songs to disgusting pop. I never thought I’d be able to do it! I did it by stopping completely; not in portions. I find that stopping at once worked for me (so far). Maybe try it with a friend. Then you can be mechazek eachother. Just do it! Even if you think that you can’t!
