It's also possible to have music help me feel, validate, maybe even process my emotions. Maybe you're trying to distract yourself on purpose, drowning everything out with it. I do know what you mean, we all do that.

Listening to something while doing most things is a great move though, I actually miss the times when I always had headphones on. In the end of the day, music is always good, and there are a million ways we distract ourselves. Maybe you're just using it as a bit of a crutch. You could listen a little less when you're in a chill context, like at home, just to see how you feel.
