    Some people (myself included) tie the music they like to a part of their soul, and exposing that to someone who may treat it with complete disregard feels very vulnerable

      So because you developed a parasocial relationship with the music you listen to you can’t tell someone the name of the song they hear you playing? Because that’s what we’re talking about here.

          No, it’s an inanimate sound production made by another person that someone is asking the name of.

          So why are they acting like it’s some person they feel a unique connection to that is somehow disturbed by answering what the title is? Why have they developed a parasocial relationship with a sound recording?
