Doing it my way, distractions help me concentrate.

People don't believe me when I say I need distractions to help me concentrate. I mostly just need background noise. Music is especially helpful. I just can't be in total silence, I need to fall back on something

When I was trying to drive, I was better at it when I could have a CD in the player. Ideally, it was a CD I'd listened to many times before and knew by heart, so that I wasn't using valuable brain power appreciating a new album. Of course I still sucked at it which is why I don't have a license, but still, if I try again I'm definitely keeping that in mind

It's more about the pain of having in earbuds, not the volume. The only problem with over the ear headphones is that they are more easily heard by other people, which could get annoying for them. And along those lines, I have a younger brother I'm around constantly (younger as in 9 years old) and I can't really listen to anything with bad words or a suggestive nature with those types of headphones (even with the volume being lower).

But you have really good suggestions, thank you.

I have the same thing with ear buds. I have the type with soft rubber that mould to the shape of your ear. Like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creative-EP-635-ear-earphones-rubber/dp/B000GB3ANW

Being ADHD, I never actually noticed your icon. Is that Schrodinger? I saw "borrow cat," and I was like, "What? ...... ROFLLLLL must be Schrodinger."
