Is it just me...

Sometimes (maybe more often than not) I just really enjoy "silence", in my own, doing my own thing.

Then, someone comes in and "shatters" the silence, it get's under my skin.

What about people that ALWAYS seem to have to be making noise and talking, whether to someone else (in person - you in particular when no one else is around), the TV (even constant laughing - it isn't THAT funny), or even on the fricken phone... I swear some people need to just hear themselves. UGH!

What do you guys think?

i try to find an enthusiastic audience for all moods. and im pretty good at picking up someone else's mood... i know when my energy isnt synched up with whoever i am with.

I agree with you Lildol. I feel the same exact way! Especially when I'm in thought and just about to clasp on to it and understand it, then BOOM! Noise, interruptions and the thought's meaning is gone forever.

And noisy coworkers!! I share a room with two other people. Sometimes, I want to come over that cubicle and choke the tar out of one of 'em.

TrueCap, isn't that they way it ALWAYS seems to work. I've told people at work to leave me alone when at the office. MOST of the time, they do leave me a alone and email me instead (I bite LOL)... but, the flip side of that is I think some of those emails are stupid as their offices are RIGHT next to mine and they should have just asked - shit like "can we meet at 11 to discuss _____?" It's not gonna kill me to ask, it might, however, if you start in on something and I'm concentrating. (and if not my colleagues, it's the piss head, manipulative, lying, thieving Virgo in my life who likes to blow up my phone just to say his ex is mad at him again or some other stupid shit that I don't have time for).

Capgirl, same here, loud people need to just STFU if for even a (long) moment, it's exhausting.

Exactly M, in the zone then BAM! White noise is fine... in my book, even crickets are fine, birds chirping fine, BUT NOT a person who is oblivious to one's current state and concentrating on something, be it at work, or even at home. Then, once that state of mind has been compromised I find that it's sometimes hard to just get back into.

Cheeky, "buffer time" this is why I avoid coming home and like to work late after everyone's left (even if I'm not really working).

Thanks guys, glad I'm not the only crazy one 😉

^^^^ LOL (poor girl)

Silence can be the most beautiful sound in the world....

Too bad others can't see it!
