I always need something around me?

It is always the case with me that it is impossible for me to be calm in a quiet environment. I always have the TV on at home, even though I'm not looking, because of the ambient noise (by the way, it has to be a broadcaster, Netflix e.g. Has the same effect on me as TV switched off). During class work at school, I'm also happy when I hear noises from outside, such as traffic, and am generally more concentrated when I hear noises from outside. I would even say that I would be more focused at an airport during the summer vacation than quietly in my apartment.

Why is that?

It's a bit similar to me when I'm alone at home, then I always have something to listen to and when it's just the television on the side. I only need my rest to sleep.

Just live with it if it doesn't affect you.

Sounds like you're suppressing something…

If you always need a distraction, you don't want to think / feel / perceive something.

No

Due to the constant over-stimulation (keyword dopamine), your brain is no longer used to hearing, seeing or perceiving anything and therefore always looks for something interesting… Usually not the subject matter in class.

targeted rest can help here. Try meditation. Start with just 5 minutes a day and work your way up. Learn to enjoy the peace. Then the concentration comes back.

Well i don't know my way around but i guess it's just a thing of yours like others can't do without chewing gum or listening to music you just don't like it when it's extremely quiet can also have something to do with being in a city you live and are used to constant noises and you feel uncomfortable because of it when it gets quiet but if you are extremely worried you can visit a doctor or talk to someone about it: 3

It's annoying sometimes. Often the TV isn't even enough and I turn on some kind of live stream. When I move out, at the latest, it will be a minor problem, but at the moment it's annoying

But what should that be?

Sa

That is also possible

There you have a psychological crack, sorry

Make a visit to your family doctor, who will probably refer you to a psychologist.

But it doesn't have to be, I'm not a doctor, I hope they look for help

So asking yourself that doesn't do much good after all, after all, you're the one who oppresses (whoever it's the case) and then of course you can't figure it out, it can also be something that happened a few years ago

Po

But the strange thing is that if I have to be quiet (e.g. If I'm not allowed to wake someone up at night) I can do without these ambient noises (without problems)

That's because there are people close to you, that's the way it is with me, too. I feel uncomfortable when I'm all alone, I get nervous at every noise, but as soon as someone is in the house I don't notice anything
