Does anyone else like to just sit in complete silence sometimes?

Question

Might be related to my adhd but sometimes especially if I've felt over stimulated with noises and music and such i need to just recharge myself by sitting in complete silence for a little bit. Just me? Kinda like meditation but all im doing is just taking in the silence and pushing out the noise in my brain. Something like that.

Actually, a lot. The thing about words is... they have meaning and... once said... can never be unsaid. So, they need to be used consciously. My husband and I spend a lot of time in companionable silence together. Sometimes we just sit or lie down and touch each other in complete silence. Silence creates space for being able to feel without static or distraction. It's a beautiful way of coming to know one another on a deeper level.

I also have what we refer to as Caroline's Time of Day. It is the very beginning of dusk until just after sunset. I often sit down by our lake, completely by myself, in silence, and just breathe in the air around me while I watch the shadows deepen into night time and feel the quiet calmness of that part of the day. Our children are welcome to be there, too, as long as they sit calmly behind me and observe the silence of the moment. Then, I go inside and spend time with my family over dinner and quiet evening activities while we wind down from a busy day.

And here I have needed to use words to answer this question, but each word was chosen consciously and purposefully! 💝

Oh absolutely.. though, after 4 months of listening to constant baby crying, silence gives me ringing in my ears 🥴 so maybe I’ll get to enjoy silence again some day

I don't LIKE to sit in silence, I NEED to sit in silence. It's profound and deafening. It speaks by saying nothing. It transcends without an action.

To be alone with your thoughts is inspiration and terror, love and hatred, growth and stasis, wonder and wisdom. The world needs more silence to commune with oneself.

"Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence"

It’s really good to be able to just sit there and think, just think, just you and your thoughts. Many people don’t allow themselves to think and process things it’s just consume and consume and consume.

I do, I really do. Especially now that I have a lot of noise around me. I sat down in silence a few days ago and it felt amazing! Very peaceful.

No, not really. Have some sound around me properly someone to speak to. But even right now 4 AM when I'm just up alone online typing, I still have some music playing quietly.

I know people like that but I am not. I want something to do someone to talk to or music at least. Can't relax just in silence, still, alone.
