Music retreat

Post Reply New Topic

I'm kind of curious if there are any other people out there who do this. When I get in a conversation I don't like, I just stick my headphones in and start playing music and just... ignore the world. I do this any chance I get really. Anyone else out there like that?

Not myself but had a deaf coworker that admitted she switched her hearing aid to bluetooth when in a conversation she didn't want to follow
I have been known to just zone out...

I have headphones on listening to music and/or a podcast almost all the time when I'm out in the world. I will take them off or turn off the music if I feel the desire or need to interact with other people, but will quickly and quietly turn the music back on if the interaction becomes too annoying.

This is almost redundant to me , Was raised around audiophiles . Can get lost in that stuff...Music in 90% of all its types.

I don't tend to do that mid-conversation, but when I'm out, I always have my Air Pods in. People may think it "rude", "cold", "distant" or whatever... I just don't think that small talk with strangers is appropriate at all, barring rare exceptions, so...

I think I fit the New England stereotype quite well. Where I used to live strangers were more small talky and always up in your business. I prefer it up here.

I do the same thing as well.
