Will keep this in mind. I normally listen to music to cut out background noise (nothing else I can do about the background noise).
I do get very aggressive if people make unnecessary noise. Always thought it was because of good hearing but maybe it's just the mind saying it needs silence...
Glad to see that you gained some value from the article. Music is better than random noises. Over time I have managed to train myself to ignore background noises. It has somewhat helped for me. When I feel like getting really aggressive sometimes I just try to meditate on my breath for a while. It helps to calm things down. I don't know how the results will be for you.
