My friends NEED TikTok, it’s what they’re doing whenever we’re chilling most of the time, but it’s beginning to kind of overstimulate me especially when more than one person is doing it and we’re also watching something on tv. Yesterday I gave one of them some earbuds and asked if she’d use them and she just said she couldn’t because her phone didn’t have an aux port. Which is reasonable I guess, and that friend did close the app, but only for a few hours and then she was back to it last night and this morning.
I feel like I’m going crazy I fall asleep to it I wake up to it I’m going about my day sitting on the couch and I just hear it everywhere around me I hear it in the car I feel like I can’t escape the never ending stream of random internet content audio and I don’t know how nobody else can hear what’s actually happening. How do I very politely tell them that I don’t want it around me at all without ruining their chill time bc I don’t want to do that. Any help is appreciated
