Headphones in Public: Coping with Anxiety

Does anyone else have to have headphones in when going out in public? When I go to the store I feel like everyone is staring at me so I have to have my music playing. Helps calm down my anxiety.

Not me personally, but my bestfriend always does! It helps with his auditory processing issues too, as he gets super anxious and loud situations also startle him.

I love to know what other people try to help with their anxiety. Mine is definitely music. It’s just weird some days I’m okay to go into the store alone and other days I just feel like everyone is staring at me or talking about me and my anxiety just goes through the roof. But I’m glad he’s got something to help ❤️

I always prefer earbuds because less people will see them so less people will judge
