First of all, rude.
Second of all, how dare you.

    I used to get really annoyed by noises that were out of my control, but after years of meditation practice, I learned to accept them (among other things) and am a much happier person. Just remember that these parts of you aren’t fixed and can change if you want them to, or sometimes totally unintentionally.

              Yeah, just possess the ability to stop the multiple planets of worry hurtling through your brainspace. Easy peezy. 🤌🏼

                You’re not in a space where you’re ready to try, and that’s ok. When I started, it was very difficult for me to tolerate trying, but in the end, all I ever did was what I was able to do with where I was at, 30 minutes once per week, and it made a huge difference for me. Let me know if you want any tips on how to approach meditation.

      Everyone around me finds crickets to be super soothing but all I hear is a very loud, high pitched ringing noise. 💀💀

    I find it disturbing that people can’t seem to be in a room without a TV on, even if they’re scrolling on facebook. People probably think I avoid them when I’m really just avoiding TV.

      Its infuriating to be visiting some family member, having a conversation with simeone, and have to talk over the noise of a TV that they have almost always on. I usually take the remote and at least lower the volume. But eventually someone comes into the room and goes “why is the tv so low?” and raises it again… Why?? We’re having a conversation, youre not even watching this shit… So frustrating

          Seems people are being replaced by cats and TV. I cant help but wonder if people were better off without them if it made people more likely to improve their social skills.

    I feel like if we continue down this particular meme street, at the end of the road everyone will be considered neurodivergent.

    I have had a fan running nearly constantly since middle school I am now 25. I fear the amount of cat hair glued to the blades, it’s one of those tower ones with the conical blades. I will not open it to clean the blades for fear that it’ll die.

    Kind of depends and changes depending on a lot of factors, to be honest.

    When I worked in an office, I discovered that headphones + music was the key to productivity for me. When I transitioned to work at home and had a more or less quiet home office to work in, I found that having music going was a bit irritating at times and totally not helpful at the best.

    So I guess the deciding factor is whether I have to deal with the ridiculous noises other people make or not?

    I had a coworker who considered anything below 160BPM not as music. My flair of music is more like Jean-Michel Jarre’s Waiting for Custeau. And the apprentice thought that there was a reason for rap to exist.

    I cannot concentrate with music playing.

    Literally anything else? Like a truck crashing through the window or someone literally trying to engage me? Zero lost focus, to the extent I was initially diagnosed with a hearing disorder.

    Not that that helps get stuff done…
