I hate silence, there needs to be noise, any noise! Music, or the TV, or even another person talking. Because for me silence is just so loud- it kind of takes over from everything, and it's as if even if there was any noise I wouldn't be able to hear it, because the silence is just so complete.

A good write - although I'm just the opposite, I love silence. Perhaps it's an age thing! Welcome to Opuss. 😊👏
@crowncottage some people find it weird that I feel that way. But where some people notice sudden noise I always notice silence. X
@wordbird22 I don't think I have mentioned this to anyone before but absolute silence is almost painful to me. Dont get me wrong, I don't like loud noises either, just a comfortable babble or birdsong suits me! 👂🎼
@crowncottage It doesn't have to be loud noises for me, anything really so long as theirs something. I live right by a road so there's always cars. I can cope with little or no noise so long ad there are other people around though. X
No I hate loud noise and silence. I like being alone sometimes but I suppose I find background noise comforting. 😄😹
