Does your needle get stuck in the groove, sometimes?

Post Reply New Topic

I've heard several people on here (myself included) talk about playing a pleasing-sounding song, many, many times, over and over.....

I'm also very familiar with echolalia----and, I think it might have to do with us liking the sound of certain words, or something like that.....

Right now, I'm stuck on a word (apropos) and I used it this week, inappropriately, when speaking to a co-worker----and I KNOW what the friggin' word, MEANS, for heaven's sake (LOL)----and, just now I was thinking of something, and said it again, in my mind, and used it the wrong way.....

So, I'm wondering if other people do this----and, what's that about? Is it, indeed, that we like the sound of a word----or, might it be that we like the way our mouth moves, when we say it, or something----or, is it just that we have a terrible addiction to fixation (LOL), or something?

All thoughtful opinions, welcomed!

Never happens to me [click] never happens to me [click] never happens to me[click].

Notice it with other folks sometimes. Like a lady I work with always spouts the phrase "Do I look like [fill in the blank]???" with noticeable frequency (even when what you look like has nothing to do with the issue at hand).

Sorta do that. There are words that strike me as fun to say, or beautiful. Like the name "Winona Ryder". Wish I had more reasons to talk about the actress because her name is so much to just say...just trips off of your tongue!

And some songs you have to listen to more than once.

Yeah, and some words just DON'T "trip off your tongue"----like, I MIGHT have said "charming" ONCE in my whole life, but there's just something about that word, that irks me, or something; IDK. LOL

One of my favorite fancy words is "ailurophile," which means a person who is a cat lover.

Another word I like is "loquacious," given to speaking a lot. I am not this type of person. I am not what anyone would call "glib." I have to think before I speak so I don't sound like a fool.

My needle gets stuck in the groove many times. This week is a very good example of my needle getting stuck in the groove. I have topics that I get stuck on.

I am eagerly anticipating Denis Istomin's second round match! I hope I can see a video of it, since I don't have the Tennis Channel.

I can relate to all of these posts (except yours InstominFan ... tennis isn't really my thing ... no offense). Words and phrases are frequently looping in my head. And I've been known to listen to the same song for hours at a time on loop. I've always wondered how common it is.
