I believe that people are more malleable than they think they I are. I got a job at a grocery store and I desperately need to 1984 myself into tolerating the radio music. It drives me insane, but I don't want to quit this job. How do I acclimate to something that is really annoying? I know for a fact that I am below average at ignoring distractions. I don't want to complain about music I hate, I just want to set my pride aside and suck it up, but usually about six hours into my shift I feel like I'm about to snap and totally exhausted. How do I stop this?

Nick random shit from the backstock and do math homework in the bathroom. idk I worked at a grocery store in undergrad and thats what I did to survive there.

I guess its all about not taking it so seriously and making sure you've eaten. Unless youre a lazy fucker whos also retarded you can get away with next to anything, so dont put too much of your energy in and save it for hobbies , study and productive excersise.

Fuck Christmas music though that shits so aids.

Also praise Australian grocery stores they pay so well.

Steal shit you fucking retard. Stealing gives you an free shit which you deserve because you're getting paid garbage and also lets you dab on the company by making them lose money even if it is a tiny smidge in the bigger picture, it's still something. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

I don't know man, just make sure you physically healthy and then do some work without stressing too much about your environment. You get used to it after about 100 hours or whatever, but the environment is always gonna be shit.
What the fuck do you want us to suggest, its a goddamn supermarket. There are no fancy tricks or secret formulas to make it generally easier. No ones gonna make you humble and tolerant in a 4chan post.

Stop trying to ignore it, and listen to it instead. It will stop bothering you very soon.

You can't. If you're not already one of your "oh I don't even hear it" coworkers you never will be. I worked ina grocery store, then I did inventory for grocery stores, I never got used to it and I never will. I despise that garbage to my very core and started wearing earplugs which obviously aren't even adequate. High dose of phenibut and or kava daily reduces the torment of working in retail environments, but quite honestly, I would never do it again. Never.

I tried all manner of internal and external means of controlling my state and perception, and ultimately, I failed to find an island of lasting peace and stability. Worse still, I can play my own music in my head near perfectly, but external rhythmic sounds are hard to override.

Lastly I'm going to agree with what I assume part of you already thinks. You're below average at suppressing noise and awareness because you're better than them. The fact that they're able to NPC like that is either an incredible skill, or due to being closer to that state at baseline.

I'm in the same boat but this is stupid. I'll tell you the real reason: they, being exposed to it from birth and having no hatred for it, are able to easily filter it out. It becomes mere background noise, a comfort. For us, because we hate it, we can't become used to it to the extent that our brains filter it out.

This just makes me hate it more ofc I shouldn't have to subject myself to potential brainwashing just to not be annoyed by awful trash blaring at me.

you become an inferior person

youre feeling bothered because its your boss way of telling you are entering the inferior class

unironically yes, but not for the commie reasons you think

if you steal something you are within your rights to it

just as if i make it with a million dollar company and can have the police beat you up just because you look at me wrong, just as i can screw your wife and make sure your kids never have access to basic needs only because i have more money than you and i was more intelligent in dealing with the objective laws of physics doesnt mean its wrong


there is no right wrong

theres only laws of physics

if you drop a hammer it falls

if you you, then you fail, if i me, then i win, its just the objective of how it is, little words wont change that the world for me is pleasure and for you is pain, it is neither correct or incorrect, its just objective scientific deterministic laws of physics doing the only thing they can possibly do, only difference ist hat when you guys complain about it thats one more of the list of pleasures i get for being seprior
