Although I don't like high noise, I was traumatized by silence in the past, because as an extrovert with Asperger characteristics and not able to read non-verbal language, it was a nightmare when someone was mad at me and didn't say anything. It didn't help that, when just a kid, I kind of self-imposed loneliness to myself (when actually I wanted friends, so I was exposed to more silence than I needed. Moments of silence were equal to too much introspection and feelings of sadness or rage, so by the age of 14 I had an unusually solid personality and identity that didn't change so much even until now.
So, at one point, I hated silence from people (I like the silence from nature or an empty room, but just not the silence coming from a person or more, and didn't stop talking if the other person went silent (and again, not able to understand why they didn't say anything, it also made me unable to know when to stop talking. Only with therapy and, interestingly, with the pandemia this year, I was finally able to not fear it.

I miss the usual 'life sounds' as I call them. the occassional beep of the car/scooters are they pass by. Hawkers selling their mechandise, birds chirping, a distant wedding procession, people chit chatting on the streets or even tv playing in the background. Its actually comforting.
Change it to my mother yelling in anger in the morning over whats trivial to me. its nails on chalkboard for me. I dont want to be around then. I dont find that soothing.
Also talking to people is draining. I dont find people around to be interesting and I dont mean it as an offence. They are same run of the mill. discussin clothes, hair, makeup and negative about each and everyone. never appreciating anythin about anyone. I know its normal but am unable to force myself to participate.

It's interesting, because from all I've read about the 'typical' inpatient psychiatric environment, the belief seems to be that every possible minute spent in the company of others is therapeutic. This supposedly prevents one from brooding or nursing a low morale or self-esteem. (I disagree; I think that a solitary yet productive activity like journal-writing or meditating for even a short while each day is beneficial) My co-workers on the night shift are chatty and I do talk with most of them, but my breaks are my own time. I always sit with a book so that others know I read to relax, and am not merely 'antisocial'. I'm not, but I've always been an introvert.

Hahaha I'm both the family member making the most noise and needing the most moments of silence. And my daily routine in that doesn't sync up with the rest of the family, because I am the only morning person. Jumping out of bed at 05: 30 in the morning singing Disney Princess aria while feeding my pets is the greatest joy in my life. I moved out about 10 years ago, but my family is still recovering from the exhaustion this trauma caused them, HAHAHA!

Even though I'm quiet myself and enjoy quiet places, without the liveliness of my family, my dad's howling laughter, my mom's shouts, it's just not it. Without my friends' useless chatter, they all, even though I'm annoyed by it sometimes, it's all things I deeply treasure. Just hearing the clock tick by in an empty space for an extended amount of time is quite lonely.

i realized that i've been living in a house who can't survive a day without making loud noises. plus i don't had the chance to talk, because they won't allow me to. so everytime that someone's showing me that they care about me and allows me to talk, i'll talk nonstop: / so i'll try to be quiet and private: )

I am a huge extrovert but I feel like Im annoying. My friends always tell me that I talk too much and its embarrassing and annoying. Im not mad at all because Id rather hear it from my close friends than from some stranger so Im just trying to be a better version of myself: )

Reasons I'm quiet:
- I have nothing to say
- Nobody is listening
- I never get a turn to speak
- If I do try and speak, people always interrupt whenever I try to get a few words out
- Whatever I had to say is no longer relevant to the conversation

Sometimes saying too much can have a bad effect. Its best to keep your business to yourself. Or even best when people do ask, just lie about your personal life. Once I realized that I am not legally obligated to share my life with others I found true peace.

Other people: talking about how silence is what's needed in our society
me, deaf: listens to music on a daily basis because it's my way of catching up on what I would otherwise miss

I'm a very quiet person living with very noisy extrovert roommates. Sometimes it feels like it's just not okay being a quiet person. People are always asking me if I'm okay.

The more i watch these videos, the more i wonder just how defective I am as a human. I can relate to most of these things but none of the benefits those things give.
