It really makes me feel like I’m in my own world. Helps me focus on what I’m doing. And if someone is home, they have to make an effort to get my attention or don’t bother.
i LOVE turning off the outside world and just enjoying my music or whatever else i'm listening to. it's like logging off - byee i'm not available i'm enjoying ME time!!
hanging out with someone and then they put their airpods in/headphones on makes me feel ignored😔 As a music lover myself, I know I do it sometimes too. but when people do this, it lowkey hurts my feelings. I understand that this can be necessary for the people with social/general anxiety, because same here, but please we need to work on this =( plus unplugging in public can be a great way to make friends too (unless you’re purposefully trying to avoid people) so personally, I’m going to try and actively work on saving my music for home alone time
I‘ve always been an adamant listener of music while on walks, at a cafe, etc. but recently I’ve feeling more anxious, more disconnected than usual. Not listening to music has helped me feel significantly more grounded, more aware of my surroundings, connected to the world around me. Also, strangers will definitely be more inclined to speak to you if they know you can hear them. If you’re into that sort of thing.
