Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I agree! I seriously feel like music is food for my brain! I would go insane without it. I also love classical music. I love all types really (except rap) but there is something about classical that just makes me relax. > > > Music is not just important to me it is really like having air or water to live. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I find I'm a lot more focussed when listening to music with headphones (music that doesn't have any of my trigger sounds). Doing this helps to block out all the bothersome and hurtful sounds. So in theory I can be more focused on what I'm doing. Of course back in school they didn't let me wear headphones during class. If I had been able to I'd probably have been a more focussed and better student. Than being overwhelmed by all the noises and sounds being made in class (gum chewing, keys jingling, etc.). My whole life I've always been the opposite of the norm. -Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I know what you mean, it's so odd. Like when I was in my work training class, all the noises kept me so distracted I couldn't focus on a word being said regarding actual instruction. I was so distracted! Yet if put in an ipod while working on something, I completely zone out All noise, even the music!! And can focus wonderfully. It's so....bizarre. But hey, shouldn't bizarre, by now, mean normal?It's so Normal! :)Tammy Re: Music I find I'm a lot more focussed when listening to music with headphones (music that doesn't have any of my trigger sounds).

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I too can concentrate better with music. Not that is ideal, sometimes I'd like to have complete serenity and absence of noise, but I know is imposible. I get distracted too often. This is a good method to be able to complete my work, otherwise I tend to get distracted and obsess with details. I know that things are not perfect, but I tend to worry less (perfectionism) when I can concentrate on my work. I am able to do this by trying to block outside noises, with music. It is weird, but it works. Waleska > > I know what you mean, it's so odd.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I too think I would have been a much better student if I could have listened to my headphones at school. I always did at home during homework and at first my parents didn't like it because they said it would only distract me. Once they saw my grades they changed their minds. I think we all can agree our lives are opposite of the norm... Oh how would it be to be " normal " ?

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 It's been a while since everyone shared what they like to listen to. I like a lot of different kinds of music, and I'm always looking for the next big thing. Some of my favorites lately (not all of this is new music): The " Once " soundtrack Wolfmother Flaming Lips Talking Heads, especially " Stop Making Sense " Moby, but he can be depressing The Cure, ditto For something completely different, I love the music of Faure--so atmospheric What are you guys listening to? > > > > > > Music is not just important to me it is really like having air or > water to live. > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 There are occasions when my hyper sensitive ears come in handy but most the time I hate it. I don't understand how I can hear some things. Take last night for example... the lovely dog across the street decided to start barking at 1am and didn't stop until 4am. This happens quiet often this time of the year (harvest here on the farm) and she is one of my biggest triggers. I love the dog too, I just hate her bark. I have an air purifier in my bedroom that emits a low hum and I also listen to a cd of crickets chirping. But I can still hear the dog. So, I pop in my earplugs (which I rarely use earplugs) and it drowns out the crickets and air purifier which are in my room, yet I can STILL HEAR the damn dog that is outside my house across the street. How is that possible? I don't get it. How can earplugs silence things in my room but not outside my house when the dog's bark is really not that loud? My husband was even shocked when I could pinpoint when she barked with earplugs in because he said he could barely hear her without earplugs. Weird. I'm just weird!
