    I still don’t understand how people just walk around with earbuds in constantly listening to something.

    for me it’s the 'tism, the predictable noise of an audio book, radio drama, music, or podcast is good for my head

      You would think that my ADHD would work similarly but I have the opposite reaction when I have headphones in, which is I become anxious that I’m not hearing something or someone I need to, and thus missing something important or forcing someone to get my attention. Naturally I already have this issue, so its like a doubling effect.
