Sorry OP, you got downvoted in so many posts, some of which I thought was undeserved, but some of it is deserved. You asked a question, but came off as wanting to prove everyone else who doesn’t listen to music is crazy. Everyone is different, you do you. I think it’s very important to train brain to be content without any stimulation and therefore, I think, I play music in my brain, I plan rest of my day or next day, and most of all I introspect when I’m walking around.
And my life isn’t even complicated and I find tons of things to Introspect, so hard for me to imagine people get bored with introspection, but you do you. If boredom is such a massive problem for you because of ADHD, perhaps carry a power bank.

I appreciate the sentiment but you also are making some weird assumptions:
I said it’s not a big deal.
Normally I’d think that yeah, given the negative reception I must’ve phrased myself badly, but honestly after reading it all, I think y’all invented this in your heads.
It’s because you think the opposite - that anyone like me is crazy, so when I act like I am normal - you take it as an insult.
And I am normal, as far as I can tell, once more - this is the only place offline or online that anyone had an issue with this, and I’m not gonna set expectations for normality based on a hyperniche hipster forum thread.
