The lighter side of ADHD
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.
It's all fun and games until you get even mild tinnitus and need some sound to not constantly hear iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
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.
Por que no los dos?

I end up not finishing the task in both scenarios
Spending 20 minutes finding the song with the right vibe then switching songs 2 minutes in...
My wife is the first one, I'm the second. We have to be completely separate to get anything done.
Have you tried white/pink/brown noise?
I've tried theta wave and she's not a fan, but it works well enough if I'm in another room.
Drag thought brown noise was a myth
Delete it now
Delete it now
No, brown and purple are supposed to be good for tinnitus, too.
As an aside, how does drag feel about second-person pronouns such as "you" and "thou"?
Edit: Drag might be thinking of "the brown note" which is very different from "brown noise".
I somehow have both at the same time 😭
Yep. If I choose the noise I can block it out. But unsolicited noise somehow becomes all my brain can focus on.
Unsolocited noise is a banger band name
Damn you're so right
Can I have this plz? Being genuine
Let's form a band and then never come to practice and forget about our gigs and delay cutting a record forever because it's just so fucking much work
Yo same. Can I DM you? Your username is personally relevant to something happening to me in a really weird way. If not its 100% Understandable, have a nice day
DMs are open :)
💚
I either have Spotify going and grooving, or I'm so focused on work and forget to turn it on.
I put Spotify on the block out whatever it is that slightly squeaks in the back every time drive over a bump
Add some black tape for the warning light and we can be best friends.
Why you gotta call me out like that? This is annoyingly accurate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
Yep 😅
I am both modes at once
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.
Humor therapy, also known as therapeutic humor, uses laughter and humor to promote healing and improve mental and physical health. It can help reduce stress, enhance mood, and even boost the immune system, making it a valuable tool in various therapeutic settings.
You can squawk like a really good parrot all you like but sadism will heal no one.
It was more like echo-locate echo-locate, than a squak.
Didn't realize providing information would be considered an insult on lemmy. I figured all the Magats had been driven away by now.
And, I don't know what meme has hurt you, but you may be in the wrong community. Usually "meme" in the community title will indicate that it is not meant to be serious there, and you should never rely on social media for medical guidance/assistance.
Def did not expect it to get you so angry you go all bird-man and lose your human word-ability. Shit. Hope you feel better and find the right professional for you.
You're projecting a lot of emotions and binding that to politics is even more sadistic.
This isn't providing information. This is sadism and narcissism but your nick provides a shitton of information about where your set of such comes from.
And no, I know you're not actually some rich kid. You're just wishing you had been and thus are the actual Maggot you pretend to insult with but hide so "secretly" yourself.
No fucking clue where you are pulling this shit from other than your ass. You're "knowledge of a strangers life and intentions" remind me of my SO when they need their bipolar meds assessed again. I don't say this with malice, I say this with ptsd from those incidents.
I am not projecting ANYTHING. I responded to a rude asshole stranger online, in kind, after they went off to left field and directed mockery and insults to me and my person, for a statement. A statement from a mental health website, directly copied and pasted.
I do not know you. I made a comment in reference to ~ A MEME IS HUMOR, under a comment, as it did not seem to be related to someone who realized -it's a joke. A joke is a coping mechanism some people use. It wasn't directed at a single person to cause them harm, it seemed self directed by the poster, I and others felt we related in ways to an issue, or issues, we cope/deal with. Each person gets to decide for THEMSELVES what works best with them. Unless you are licensed, and a person has indicated they want your assistance or are under tour care, you can't decide on/force someone else to cope in a particular way. Shit, I and plenty people, have even disregarded our solicited professional as their guidance didn't fit right, and sought different/further direction from someone else.
Sure now that you mention it, I wish I had been a rich kid. Would have made life a lot easier, who wouldn't. Especially with my "I feel like I lead a double life due to who I have to pretend to be to the public" issues.
But since you KNOW ALL, OH SENTIENT INTERNET STRANGER guess I'm wrong... about me?
This has now been to much of my life's time spent on this inanity over a meme comment. I will not be engaging further, as I have real things to do with people I know and care about and who are kind to myself and others. I do wish you the best in getting what you are needing, but I cannot provide it.
