I find it hard to focus when music isn't playing (discuss.online)

If I need to concentrate, I must have music or a conversation in the background on TV or something. Does anyone else need something else pulling for their attention when they're concentrating? My mind will quickly wonder if I don't have music.

Same. I use sound to block my internal thought process. Without music my mind keeps getting swept up in thoughts and such.

Why I hate silence. My mind fills the void.

Didn't realize this was neurodivergent. Interesting, likely some overlapping going on.
