Background noise
-
If everyone is neurodivergent then everyone is neurotypical.
-
If you have the luxury of time to do so, I suppose.
30 minutes one day a week

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.

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

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. 🤌

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.

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 would like to reflect back at you that you've responded to everything I've said with negativity and sarcasm.

Speaking as one who could actually benefit from sincerity and compassionate awareness, your glib tone is bad PR for meditation as a whole. Stop cosplaying a keyboard shrink, and jog on. 🤌

I'm the opposite

I feel like if we continue down this particular meme street, at the end of the road everyone will be considered neurodivergent.
But is everyone saying they must have background noise either 100% of the time or 0% of the time?
I think the meme was worded reasonably well. It could easily have said it in a more broadly relatable way like “I like to listen to music while I work” where many neurotypical people would agree. It’s like how people like to say they have OCD because they clean up after themselves and put things away.

Dude, you know nothing about me, and are bringing your preconceived judgments and inferring tones that don't exist. "You're coming from a place of privilege" by doing something free that you can do anywhere and don't need to own or have anything? Something that underpins the spiritual practice of over a billion people across the world of every socioeconomic status? Fuck that.
I recognize you're not in a place to be ready to try because I've been there, and because you've approached this adversarially from the beginning. Hell yes I'm proud of what I've accomplished, and I absolutely want to share that with people who I think would benefit from it. Then here you show up to shit on me, and have the gall to accuse me of being self serving and out of touch?

Ah, yes, there's the self-righteous defensiveness that attempts to throw a rug over the salient points and bend the argument to an ad hominem fallacy. Textbook. Better meditate on that, citizen. You've got it bad.

Just deflecting over and over, putting up walls and wondering why no one lets you in

Second of all, how dare you.Have you all just tried getting a grip?

Second of all, how dare you.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.

"Just stop having ADHD dumbass"
Thanks I'm cured.
