Interesting point. Are you working with music ? During some period ? Or not at all ?That's one reason.
Music is very emotional. I have noticed that whenever I stopped listening to music, I was a lot calmer. I've heard this from a number of other people on the Internet as well.
Makes you live more in the present as music can bring up a lot of memories.
Walking around in public with your headphones on listening to music is essentially hiding from the world and retreating into yourself, which is the last thing someone with social anxiety needs.
Big Pharma has infiltrated the music industry to make anxiety trendy and push pills to the masses which is why everyone seems to have "an anxiety disorder" nowadays.
Talk to people and say hello to strangers more. The more you do anything, the less intimidating it becomes.
If you're wearing headphones in public, it makes you an easy target.
This is all just my own experience. He should just try it for a week. What's the worst that could happen?
I've tried on my side and it's very difficult to work without music. However, I totally agree with you. I've a better focus without music, and I work faster.
