First of all, rude.

Crickets are okay, but only when I feel like they’re okay.
Everyone around me finds crickets to be super soothing but all I hear is a very loud, high pitched ringing noise. 💀💀
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.
If you have the luxury of time to do so, I suppose.
30 minutes one day a week
That ten-thousand hours’ll be finished in no time!
The great part about meditation is you don’t have to be an expert to enjoy its benefits.
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.
Patronizing is your reflex? That tracks. Good luck with that.
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
TVs make people feel less alone, its a coping mechanism.
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 alternate back and forth all day long.
I prefer the sound of silence.
I don’t mean the song but I’m also fine with the song (it gives me Frission every time I hear it, so it gets a pass.)
As a software developer, I also prefer complete silence and use noise cancelling headphones with nothing playing. The constant screaming tinnitus is enough background noise.
I am wagnetic.

I put on podcasts so my own thoughts shut up for a minute

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.
Feels real is real!

Music in headphones: good A show I picked by am not really watching: good A conversation I am not part of: I WILL MURDER YOU ALL WITH A SAFETY PIN
I feel like if we continue down this particular meme street, at the end of the road everyone will be considered neurodivergent.
If everyone is neurodivergent then everyone is neurotypical.
This, tbh.
I think neurodiversity vs neurotypical is the wrong way of looking at things anyways. I think neurodiversity is a term that describes how diverse the different neurotypes are. Just as with other types of diversity, you can’t say there’s only one type that’s normal and the rest abnormal.
So we’re all just on the spectrum? 😉
“The spectrum” usually means ASD, but neurodiversity is much much larger and encompasses other neurotypes as well.
I know, twas joke
We did it reddit!

Tinnitus gang where you at.
Mynoise.net is great.
Are those traits neurodivergent or do they just fall into the “people are different” category?
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…
I’m the opposite
Depends on the music for me. Anything slow or super lyrical tends to break my focus, while more upbeat stuff I’ve heard dozens of times can help me hit a flow state (or at the very least drown out the goings on around me enough to focus on something). I’ve had good luck with video game soundtracks, like Bastion or FTL because they tend to be lively without demanding attention.
Mostly the former, but occasionally the latter if I can’t control the latter noise.
