Bizarre question

Sporadic Sparkly

A short while ago I happened to hear a song that immediately made me think of someone that I would now prefer not to be reminded of, as it causes me to feel a whole host of unwanted negative emotions. It wasn't so much the song itself, but the group singing it.

I know it's a long shot, but would anyone happen to know if there is a realistic way to stop the association? Whilst attempting to inflict a brain injury on myself that results in selective amnesia is an option, it is one that I would personally prefer not to try. Wink

  • I read an article a LONG time ago about psychological "Engrams" which seems to be what you got going on there.

    There was a  routine for both identifying them and curing them but you need a willing assistant so I never gave it a go.

    If googling isn't your friend, get back to me and I'll see if i can find it myself for you.

    Ooh, thank you Mr I Sperg. I'm curious enough to want to google it. Relaxed

    I didn't actually say I was curious enough to test it out though. Wink

    For now, I think I'll probably just refrain from watching certain music channels on my TV. Lol.

    Not sure I'm brave enough to be a guinea pig, just so I can satisfy your own curiosity and report back to you.

    Remember, I didn't get to test the information, so it might not be good.

    But I always meant to get around to it...

    I'll be curious to hear how you do particularly if you get to test it out.
