I was an extremely anxious kid in high school, keeping to myself and making sure never to express myself really in any way apart from making people laugh because it was a pretty risk free way to get people to accept you. Now after years of therapy I don’t really care if people think the music I like is cringe and I’m mostly happy to be myself and let people self filter.

Hopefully you can find the same soon and not worry so much about how your choice of music might compare to other people’s.
