    I don’t do background noise. I exist in a state of silence most of the time.

    Not because I need it that way, but because I literally don’t notice when something is on so why waste the electricity. If I do notice, I’m definitely not doing whatever I’m supposed to be doing…

    But this, very importantly, only applies when I get to choose the noise. If someone is forcing noise on me (like my former manager who used to sing at her fucking desk) its incredibly distracting. Always.

        I guess I lump that in with sounds I ignore. I’ve had it for a loooong time, and it doesn’t bother me until I think about it (so you know, thanks… 😑😜)

          For me it’s only easy to ignore if there is some background sound. By that I mean the most basics like the fans on a computer or just the wind outside. Or the echo of the room itself.

          The problem is that I like to use over-the-ear closed headphones that block out most noise. So as soon as I stop playing anything, it becomes very obvious.

      Yep. Any external noise can be a big distractor.

      Now make that noise repetitive, or something like the sound of someone eating, and it can send you though the roof.

    I found in college the old sitcoms playing with nick at night were the perfect background noise while not being to interesting to pull my attention from the books.

    Why you gotta call me out like that? This is annoyingly accurate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You ain’t a Doc and I don’t give a gorram how much Edu you’d like to think that you can label yourself with on unrelated anything if anything. You think you can brag about it with such junky technicality that it won’t be called but by someone actually so. But all that because you’re so obviously a cheesy newbie narcissistic wannabe comedian.

    This is supposed to be a group of relations and support. Not mockery and condescension. We’ll find out how long my post lasts to that affair though. Some places can’t handle it and if this place is like that, I don’t want to be here anyway.
