I’m not afraid of silence but I like listening to music and it helps to distract from voices.

Silence is therapeutic.
Silence is wisdom.

I always have to have some sort of background noise be it the TV at home or the music in my car.
When my parents converted, we did Lent one year and I gave up music in my car.
The silence almost killed me.
It was terrible.
I began talking to myself, singing super loud, doing all sorts of weird stuff.
I made it through Lent, but never again.

I like neither. Noise or Silence it amplifies the voices. I like melodic soothing sound like rain wind Breeze birds coo etc.

I used to be afraid of silence. However, when the kids started school full-time, the house was silent. Then, I started to like silence.
Edited: now that I think about it, I got out of a really bad job where I was working to the max and extremely burned out. I stayed home. I was expecting a few months later with twins. I ended up being home for almost 12 years. I liked the silence much more than all of the drama and overworking at the job I had been in previously.

When I was younger I had to have something on all the time to distract me. I couldn’t be alone with my runaway mind. I have settled and now need a certain amount of silence to reset and cope with our very noisy world.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
When I wake up super early, like today, I like the silence of the morning. Hubby is still sleeping.
When I have to sleep alone, when Hubby is out of town, I am very scared of the silence. I turn on the bedroom TV and play calming music, all night long. The light of the TV helps, too. I am afraid of the dark.

If anything, I am afraid that with too much noise, I wont be able to hear the dark forces stirring as they awaken upstairs and plot against me for an attack.

I am afraid of having no silence in my life or thoughts. I think I need silence or life is just a bunch of people making noise. I take my medication for silence in my head and thoughts in my head, the medication gives me some silence and I need it.
