I’ve mentioned that I like to just sit back in my easy chair, put headphones on and just listen to music without doing anything else. People say this is weird and say they would fall asleep or go crazy from not doing anything. Am I weird for doing this?

    I wouldn’t say weird. You can enjoy your music however you want.

    Personally i wouldn’t be able to do it, having ADHD and sitting still doesn’t really go together.

      If you have adhd I suggest getting a good quality IEM or headphones. I can sit still and just listen to music if it’s layered and lush and have myself fully stimulated trying to piece everything.

        I already have decent earphones, Marshall major IV. Just the hyperactivity part is generally too strong, neither do i have that much free time to spend it on just listening music. I can do that while working, combining multiple activities.

      Same here. I think walking and listening to music also qualifies as “just listening to music” for me, and I find it quite easy and enjoyable. I don’t think the sitting part is all that important, only the “just listen to music” part.

        Good point, yeah that i do regularly, though not with the explicit purpose of walking to listen to music. Generally just walking to somewhere and combining that with listening music.
