    These are the things that help me: Earplugs. I prefer these ones https://www.amazon.ca/3M-Non-corded-Disposable-Earplugs-Pairs/dp/B000I7LH8Y but you might have some luck with Loops as well. I would like those except they don’t fit one of my ears very well.

    Light-filtering Glasses. Sunglasses are good for outdooes, but I also have a pair of FL-41 coated glasses. They are meant for migraine sufferers, but I swear they make processing easier when I wear them. https://www.theraspecs.com/fl-41-glasses/

    Stop trying to live your life according to the standard, accepted template. It’s really important to decide what you value in life and reject the judgments of others. You have to figure out how to be okay with, or enjoy, being outcast. It’s not so bad once you figure that out. https://www.amazon.ca/Courage-Be-Disliked-Phenomenon-Happiness/dp/1668069539

      Try custom molded earplugs if you like wearing them frequently. I have to wear them at work, and was tired of them getting dirty and throwing them out. I’ve been wearing the same pair of custom molded plugs for years now. Just wash them with hand soap whenever they get dirty, and they’re good as new. They are also much more comfortable than the ones that rely on expansion to stay in place.

        OK, yeah I will give these a shot. I really don’t like the disposable factor of the earplugs, but the 3M ones I likes are the only ones that arent uncomfortable and fit well. If i can find a reusable that does the same job, I’d like that.

      Is that why I love my over-ear headphones so much‽ I got them to minimise background noise for music production lol. Explains why I want to wear them even if I don’t feel like listening to anything at that moment.

      I’m okay with being an outcast, but I want some outcast friends :/

      I would love to wear more earplugs, but no matter what I do, I always seem to get ear infection after wearing them.
