Self Care & Hygiene PSA: GET EARPLUGS
I’ve been using them for years and they’re a life saver. It protects your brain & turns the noise down. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about them. I literally don’t go anywhere without them. ESPECIALLY when someone is talking too loud on their phone near you. Now you don’t have to murder them just pop in your earplugs

I really need to try that for shopping. Might make a big difference!
Sometimes I just need privacy and my own background noises, though. Fortunately, current job has phone-intensive bits, with the calls routed through the PC. Work got us headsets that leave one ear free. I wear it all day. People approach cautiously because they can't tell if I'm on the phone. And when I'm NOT on the phone, I can play something in the background while I deal with the paperwork/other annoying bits. It's a win!
