I’m frankly shocked at how many people are able to do this. I cannot have stuff on “in the background”. It’s far too distracting and I’ll never ever accomplish anything if anything else is consuming my attention.
Right? Never whistle while you’re pissing. If I’m watching something, that’s what I’m doing. If I’m doing something else, TV is just a distraction. If I want background noise, I’ll put on some easy music.
Some people are easily overstimulated and others are highly unstimulated by default. 🤷♂️ I could never write an essay, for example, without a good playlist in the background!

Someone who can read with the TV on is like a wizard to me.

it’s about background noise. normally listen to the TV at a 10 or 11 volume level. when it’s just noise it’s at a 3 or 4.
… yeah. Background noise is distracting. Silence or nothing.
fair enough.
