I can't wear headphones while working... or almost any time. I feel trapped, I like to hear noises around me, people chatting or cars passing by, my brain blends everything into white noise I guess... but I need air around my ears. If I listen to music, it has to be on speakers. I have a gift to be able to ignore people. They call me rude, but now everybody accepts it.
