I’m a daily AirPods/earphone user. Usually, I use them for around 2–3 hours in the morning and evening, sometimes more, sometimes less.

I moved to another country to build my career, and I’m currently staying in a shared room. My roommates sometimes snore or make noises at night (not intentionally), so I can’t sleep without AirPods. I don’t use ANC ones.

Some people say, “You can’t just live alone; you need to get used to it,” or “Just ignore the snoring.” But I genuinely can’t. I’m very sensitive to sounds, and even after someone stops snoring, my mind keeps thinking, “Bro, they’re still snoring,” and I can’t fall asleep.

Living alone or getting a private room is also too expensive for me right now.

Yesterday, I watched Sound of Metal, and after watching it, I started feeling really worried. I suddenly felt like my hearing had become worse, and now I’m scared that I might have damaged my ears from using earphones and AirPods so much.( the movie related a band guy losing his earing)

Has anyone experienced hearing loss from daily earphone/AirPods use? Is this something I should genuinely be worried about?

I’m 24 and I’ve never been in a relationship, had my first kiss, or experienced anything romantic.

The weird part is I have a lot of female friends, so I’m not someone who completely avoids women. I also don’t think I’m unattractive or ugly.

But whenever I’m at a bus stop, on a bus, or in a crowded place and a girl stands near me, I get extremely anxious. My face feels tense, I look scared, and I become so self-conscious that I don’t know how to act normally.

I feel like anxiety has stolen the last 10 years of my life. Every crush I’ve had was already in a relationship or engaged, and I never had the confidence to make a move.
I genuinely want a healthy relationship.

Has anyone else been through this? Did it ever get better?

I’ll mostly be using them outdoors during my 3 hour daily bus commute. I mainly watch YouTube videos and movies, and also listen to music.

The most important thing for me is that I don’t want to hear much outside noise. ( i have iem, earpods pro 3 ,)

I’m a bit sensitive to sounds. I’m currently working in a foreign country for a contract, and I’m living in a shared room with colleagues. Because my ears are sensitive, any kind of noise at night irritates me and wakes me up, and then I can’t sleep.

For example, someone snoring, talking, or even noise on the bus can bother me. So I’m thinking of buying good ANC earbuds. I currently thinking buy Apple AirPods 3 Pro. Which one is the best for my situation?

I’m in a GCC country, and my phone number is very important to me. I can’t afford to lose or disconnect it. Which plan should I activate to keep my number active without losing the connection? [Jio]

Mine is 6-7 Something

I created my account around 2016, so I have a lot of old chats with friends. Back in 2020–2021, I was kind of a cringe type, and looking through those old DMs now makes me realize how Dumb and cringe i was

I’m also trying to build a better life for myself now. One thing that worries me is that if I ever become a celebrity or a well known person, someone could leak my old chats. Is there any way to delete those messages for both me and the other person (mutually)?
