My suggestion would be to sample different kinds of music and see what you respond to. Then, once you find something that you like, dig a little deeper. As you explore sounds, your will eventually find “your” music.

I second this.

You’re not “mentally insane” based on this alone. Oliver Sacks did a lot of research into the brain and music you might find interesting

Try playing playlists on your tv to set a mood. This is generally a good way to start. I was always a fan of listening to smooth jazz playlists, usually coffee shop type playlists. The mood they set might warm you over to music

Or any other type of music. Just ask yourself what mood or atmosphere you enjoy. Coffee shops, libraries, foreign places, or even alien space ships (lol, but cyrochamber has some great ones for these types of things).

I can't get into sports to save my life. Can't even find a single fiber of interest to bother. I listen to music all day long though.

We're individuals. Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean you have to too.

Start with happy or upbeat or positive playlists, search Spotify or youtube. Listen to some playlists, decide what genres and artists and styles you prefer, expand your listening from there.

Maybe you should try to approach music through books? Music is about emotions, and there are lots of concept albums having books behind them, especially fantasy ones. If you have some books you love, try to dig if there are any songs based on them. Sounds the easiest way to find smth that is really "yours".
