it feels like everyone has an entertainment addiction

Fairly Annoyed

everyone is constantly watching, listening, scrolling, or playing something, and in my house it doesn‘t end until everyone is asleep. showering? they‘re listening to music. sleeping? they’re listening to a podcast, or still listening to music. talking in the living room? you have to be playing something on the TV, or blasting music on the speaker to where every other house on our street can hear it, OR both! if they‘re eating they are also always watching something. if they in the house and they aren‘t doing any of the above, they are playing video games or scrolling on some platform, and they will scroll for hours. and since no one in my house works or goes to school, they can continue to listen to music the entireeee time we‘re out of the house. i wouldn‘t call myself a person sensitive to stimuli, but i certainly do not enjoy being bombarded with constant stimuli, all day every day, and that‘s what it feels like everyone in my house is doing. i dont know anyone outside of my household, so i can‘t say from experience that everyone is like this, but from the way my family members talk about other people, it does seem as if most people are like this, and i find it sad that this is an addiction that most people have and no one really seems to know how to get rid of it
