Background noise

Patronizing is your reflex? That tracks. Good luck with that.
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 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

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

First of all, rude.
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.

If everyone is neurodivergent then everyone is neurotypical.

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.

What if the background noise is in fact a series of overlapping, never-ending streams of thoughts in your own head?
I put on podcasts so my own thoughts shut up for a minute

Second of all, how dare you.I had a coworker who considered anything below 160BPM not as music. My flair of music is more like Jean-Michel Jarre's Waiting for Custeau. And the apprentice thought that there was a reason for rap to exist.

Didn't ask you to stop having it. Just to overcome it.

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 -

Second of all, how dare you.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.

I don't know why, but someone speaking in the background in a language I don't speak drives me insane. It doesn't have to be loud, I don't have to be trying to concentrate on anything especially hard, but if it doesn't stop after a couple of minutes, I basically just have to go somewhere else.
No idea why. I don't think it is any subtle racism, because it's every language. It's like my brain won't let go of trying to understand, and keeps wanting to notify me that it's having trouble and needs my help with it.
I get the weirdly opposite wherein my brain starts to try to translate it through whatever lexicon I may have, Korean for example don't know a bit but any Romance language or Germanic language getting rammed through the lexiconic equivalent of Frankensteins monster as presented by HR Giger. I try to avoid Spanish, I can understand spoken Frisian.

It’s one of the reasons I’m listening to music so often, and even that doesn’t help sometimes. It affects my sleep too

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.
