i just got called a walking musical basically
The story
So at our school we have this morning holding thing where we go in the gym and sit and socialize before class starts. I was sitting in the bleachers with my friends (none of the names are real) Katy, Ella, Barley, and Harley. (no I did not rhyme that on purpose). Harley was talking about some Dan Bull song she hates, and I mentioned that Dive Into the Madness and that one Minecraft skeleton song by him are actually pretty good. Barley agreed, saying that not all Dan Bull songs were bad. And then the madness.
See, I don't know what's wrong with me, but if I think of a movie line or a song lyric in the middle of a conversation, I HAVE to say it. It takes a lot of willpower not to.
So the first line of the chorus of Dive Into the Madness came to mind as we were discussing Dan Bull, and I sang it. Barley, who was sitting kind of in front and to the right of me, turned and said, "This isn't high school musical!" because he gets annoyed when I do my song thing. But I can't not do it. He doesn't know that it's something I don't control. He thinks it's just me.
But anyway, it still hurt. And now I don't really want to talk to him because he says a lot of things that make my "playlist brain" go crazy for some reason and I don't want to annoy him. Not that he even ever really talks to me much anymore anyway.

its none of my business but I'm sorry about that, just keep being u! I hope they didn't mean it
I can see how that situation would be pretty frustrating 😅. sounds like your brain just loves to connect everything, and honestly, that's kind of a cool quirk to have; sometimes people just don't understand how automatic it can be to burst into song or quote something, especially when you're really into it. on the bright side, embracing your unique traits can actually bring more joy to your life, and maybe eventually, your friend will come around and see the fun in it. communication is key in friendships, and if it's bothering you, maybe talking to him about how it's not something you can easily control might smooth things over. just hang in there; people who appreciate your quirks for what they are will definitely come along.
I get that it can be annoying when people don’t get your quirks, but expecting everyone to just go along with it might be a bit much. not everyone will vibe with random song breakouts, you know? maybe try seeing it from Barley's perspective. he's there to chill too, and it might not be his thing. maybe "this isn’t high school musical" was his way of saying let’s not make this a constant thing. finding a balance might help. not everyone has to get it as long as you enjoy it yourself 🙂.
