like i understand why it would be helpful for like productivity and shit and i do use a pair (got gifted one for christmas) but beyond that and for overstimulation/sensory issues noise-cancelling headphones are a nuisance to our society...
the absence of noise genuinely drives me out and freaks me out sorry i can't fucking handle it....
why do we want to be disconnected from the humdrum noise of everyday life so much??? the background noise of life is what keeps us grounded and honestly something we take from granted...
leaves rustling, bird chirping, train sounds, background conversations, the sound of walking??? and the most ordinary shit you know???? feel alive goddammit!!!

not an original experience I know, but if I cannot make the sounds around me more, or less at will I'll become feral, and society doesn't need me to behave that way

(specifically behavioural experiment — really putting my psych degree into good use huh?)
i don't know man but this really helps me get unstuck from an all-or-nothing mindset and the insane analysis paralysis from even doing the most menial of tasks
look just set it from a random number of days and put a random thing to focus on and see what happens
i don't even have to stick to it — this isn't even a "serious/legitimate" experiment at all — i give myself the grace to fail at this "experiment" completely and i try to take as much emotional weight from it as possible
the whole of point me doing this in the first place is ripping off the band-aid: any action is good action at this point, i don't want to ruminate anymore and i want to build momentum (even if it seems embarrassingly insignificant)
if it works out: good!! if it doesn't work out: also good!! the whole point of this is trial and error and honestly just bridging the gap between idea and execution and getting rid of friction between tasks as much as possible...
we can always change the hypothesis and the experiment... back to the drawing board we go!!!
