Why I rarely wear headphones or earbuds

It's simple: they disconnect me from my surrounding

I think I bought myself plenty of headphones or earbuds in my past. I tried different types, usually I would use them when talking on the phone, when listening to voice mails or recording them; I usually kept one ear free.

They seemed convenient to have… until I lost them...got new ones… then I lost those too… and then the next ones… and the ones after just broke… and so on and so forth…

In case you wonder: they were always with cables, cos I wouldn’t ever try to get those fancy new wireless plugs to put in my ears, I would lose them within 5 min of wearing them, while not even noticing it. How many earrings I have lost… I stopped counting…

So, when thinking back at it, I feel that somehow the universe wanted to tell me something :D… at some point I stopped using any headphones or earbuds, a waste of money, time, energy and actually completely useless for me.
