Because of the past few days being slightly busy, there have been far more situations in which I've been faced with having very little to give to the interactions I've had. I've been thought of as rude, anti-social and most of all, blatantly unfriendly. It's so far gone from what I'm usually like, the change has become interesting. People don't enjoy you paying for something without saying a single word to them, and in some cases ignoring what they say to you.
It was pointed out to me that loud music through headphones can do permanent damage to ones hearing, luckily I anticipated this and have kept the volume halfway or just above.
"Approximately, twenty-six million Americans between the ages of 20 and 69 have high frequency hearing loss due to chronic exposure to loud noise above 90 decibels (db), according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. If you are one of the millions of Americans who owns an MP3 player, then you might be at risk for hearing loss from headphones or earphones. Studies have shown that most MP3 players today can produce sounds up to 120 db and that long-term cell phone use may cause damage in the inner ear." - Hearing Loss From Headphones and Earphones.
