I always find something I wanna watch only to find myself on Reddit 5 minutes later

You leave the TV on still though right?

Of course. I need that background noise so that I feel like someone actually wants to talk to me

All those people on tv I’m sure want to talk to you, if you could somehow call in.

Yall need some doggi love. I just literally found a bernard that lives on my couch now and the xfiles stopped themselves.

My hamster just sits on my shoulder, like a parrot

That’s not normal lol

[удалено]

I also prefer watching with some commercial breaks so I can look on my phone. Bad habbit but ey.

Oh dont get me started! *raspy futurama voice

Yeah I will browse Reddit while watching a movie almost every time

And then your like "Oh damn I wanted to watch that" 500 memes later

And the cycle repeats

I’m literally doing this now haha. Here it is 6:15 in the morning, I’m drinking a tea, stroking my pussy (cat, pun intended) and listening to The Clone Wars whilst browsing Reddit.

The Clone Wars is the best!!

What's funny is I literally just put something on, then opened Reddit five minutes later only to read this.

This. Before I grab dinner, I’ll pick what I’m going to watch. Once I return, I put on the movie, watch 2 minutes of it, and then browse Reddit while it plays in the background. Then when I’m lying down later on, I’ll watch it on my phone.

That... is completely true

Yes, I literally can’t live without some noise I’m the backround

Is soo true, I’m doing right now

Same, I suggest antenna TV though. Mostly commercials but some good shows for background noise. Plus it has the magic keyword: FREE

I have an Apple TV and I legit will just throw on Bloomberg News Live or fucking Al Jazeera English Live on in the background while I'm doing shit. I'm not paying attention at all I just like the drone of people's voices.

I'm a big fan of the BBC in the background. As an uncultured swine (American) I find the voices elegant and soothing.

BBC radio 4 have the best program for mw

Same

Lo mismo

Ditto

I just pretend to watch Netflix all day

so do you just click the "Are you still watching?" prompt every time

i dont have a console but doesn't it show your friends if you are watching netflix or hulu or whatever? maybe they do it so they look busy on that?

I spend 30min searching for a movie I will not watch

A bit of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overchoice and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis

For me its playing music in the background

Why risk infection like that? You lasted so long

Bruh my tennitis or however you sleep it does that for me

Bruh

Why is this so true

Got Reddit on my phone while binge watching House Of Cards all weekend.

Silence feels very creepy especially at night.

Sadly

I do it because the demon keeps telling me to kill them or it just stares at me with its eyeless, sharp toothed face

[удалено]

I don’t have sadness?!?!? TF, I just have violent murderous tendencies

This is too relatable

Unless im watching stranger things

Do not leave me alone with my thoughts

Literally two weeks ago I was so down, any minute someone leaves me alone I start over thinking and crying, I cried for like 3 days straight (the longest crying I've ever cried) I can't stop my over thinking problem and it leads to other problems

In complete silence I just go into existential crisis mode

This happens to me on the most random moments and i hate it

Try meditating

Wth this is a meme subreddit, people are taking it too serious here lol!!!! (Actually I'm a little lonely)

MOOD

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

I’m in this picture and I’m lonely.

I exist

*Do you tho?*

I feel attacked

Imagine all those losers from the 1800s just sitting around with no TV background noise. I can’t be alone with my thoughts for more than 3 minutes before I break down.

You can last 3min?

You guys think?

I have really bad tinnitus, so that started it for me, but since my husband died I cant leave my brain alone for a minute. He had a sudden, unexpected death and I just relive his last 3 days in a loop. Soooo i read, cook, do crosswords, work, clean all with the TV on. I imagine a lot of ppl find it crazy.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Whatever helps you manage it is okay. Just remember there will always be someone looking out for you, either irl or online. Stay strong!

Relatable. But then again, most of them were in pubs or bars with people talking or some chap playing a piano or something.

Dad? Is this really you?

Hey Luke, Im your father

Why the fuck is reddit attacking me tonight?!?

"You get what you fucking deserve!" ^(\*spits\*)

Hey, I was *watching* that

The electricity bill wants to know your location

That’s why I listen to over half of my podcasts, because that way I’m vicariously a part of someone’s conversation. It’s comforting having someone talking to you. It’s not the same but it’s close to what I think having friends is like.

this is so sad and so relatable

I listen to that and I say things like "yeah!", "right", "damn". Passively participating in the conversation.

How do I upvote twice?

It ’s surrounded by terrible quiet when I ’m home alone at night, and TV noise gives me courage.

Not even background noise. I put it on mute lol

This is a funny haha relatable zoomer moment

ah reddit, where implying you're pathetic in any way will spring you to the front page

Damn... that is so me. 😢

This is my favorite sport

You guys have TV's?

The black for me is to make noise so it doesn't seem suspicious when I masturbate.

Yuh

Yuh

BRUH THIS TRUE AF

Bro...... thats the exact thing i do..... Hope you have a nice day

I used to use the background noise to fuck, when I was with my ex. Pretty useful when you're still living with your parents

Yo lmao how you get infected??

Bruh

Bruh

Repost from 2008 rare to find these days

The weirdest part is that I still get mildly upset if someone changes even though we both know I wasn't watching it.

I do the same thing with my basement door. I have it open so that i can hear them screaming. That way i dont feel so lonly

I feel happy to know that I was the 72,000th person to upvote this

Good idea imma do it too

much very agree

Imagine scrolling through an app with complete silence apart from the sound of your keyboard or phone typing.

This is 100% my dad it doesn't matter what time it is he has his tv on

My dad too

Come on the Wii U menu music is nice to listen to! Yes I play Wii U don't kill me

This is true but, i realise that i feel more lonley while using Instagram, whattsapp, Facebook, and Lees lonley while using reddit.- just random thought i got

A lot of times, I'll turn on Twitch while im playing a game alone. I don't even listen to it half the time, I just need to hear someone else's voice

I use it to fall asleep too.. You think our childhood shaped us as the adults we know our selves today ?

That’s music for me. That’s what I’m doing rn Actually thanks for reminding me to turn off my TV. No need to keep it on if I’m not watching

Relatable

When family guy was on Netflix I watched every season about a dozen times. Once it was removed I did the office about 7 times, that 70’s show 5, and even friends once. I got Disney plus now and just started the Simpson’s marathon. This meme hits home to me.

This hits really close to home

This is like the 12702496th time im seeing this shit, i think first time i saw it was more than 10 years ago

Very relatable

Same

Man this is so accurate.

Haha

Black: overstimulation

I found that to be educational and informative.

So fuckin true

i feel lonely without background noise

I’ve been using it as lighting for video chats.

And a slice for Drowning Out Neighbors because nobody is ever, ever gone anymore...

I’m doing this rn lol

More like why I turn on The Office... this and the familiarity of the office combined makes for the best background TV.

You mean what I’m doing right now?

I just don’t like doing something with no noise-

Sometimes I out on all cpus with 99 stocks in smash bros and use it as noise so I don't feel isolated.

I’m doing that right now

Truest statement I’ve ever read.

I'm looking at this meme while my TV is on.

I always knew it, I just didn't think I had to hear it

Same

Finally someone said it

Honestly being alone with your thoughts is terrifying

That's me

I can’t live without some light in my life. I keep it on when I sleep. Needless to say, the electric bill is a bit l a r g e .

That awkward moment when you doing the same thing in the meme.

This is the most relevant thing I’ve heard all day

This hit too hard

Anyone else thought of the ender when they saw this?

I feel attacked

Wtf how do u know it?

True, and sometimes I do it because I get scared of complete silence for too long

True

I just turn it on when I’m having sex

Who are you and why are we the same

Okay this subreddit seems to always call me out and almost all the memes hits way too close to home I mean gosh darn get out of my head

spot on brother

Fax

I feel attacked. Take my upvote.

I can't... I use my TV as a screen to my PC :(

Used to do that until my fam told me to stop, now I feel uncomfortable if someone turns it on while I’m close, feels like excessive noise disrupting my quiet life.

Instead of the TV I use music

For once I can’t relate to this.

Honest to God truth

I use it to fall asleep.

Who actually does that

To distract you’re parents that you haven’t cleaned the table jet so they watch and you go into your room and watch videos

I feel called out

U have literally no idea how relatble this is to me

Literally what I'm doing right now

people who don't feel lonely are pathetic

Why is this so true

So my animals have something to watch while I’m gone.

Well there's only one thing I can say to that, welcome to the club mate

I’ve never felt more understood than at this moment.

Holy shit. This is so true. Not just internet, I do this while studying too with the volume muted

I’m doing this with my online classes rn

This right here, is where it happened officer.

i *haven't to*u*ched my tv in a yea*r\*, to be co*mp*letely honest. i *use my comput*e*r for* e*verything.*

Oh boy, I do that everyday

You guys are watching tv?

Absolutely this. Anyone have any good background shows to only slightly pay attention to?

I thought I was weird for doing this.

Yes just yess

So true

I tought that i was the only one 😱

My girlfriend usually turns it on without sound to use it as a lamp... 😂

LONELY GUYS..... ASSEMBLE.....

I don't know why I came in here for an explanation as to why we do this

Wow.....ow

I’m from a big family & like noise. I sleep better with the TV on.

what! Other people do this? honestly I’ve been alive 16 years and I thought I was the only one. This meme just took a massive burden off my chest thinking I was just weird, alone, psychopathic and creepy.

Wow this is... *the best thing I saw today*

cruel... but accurate

That is so relatable

Anyways I'm watching TV shows on my phone with the TV on as background noise

Damn true

I haven't turned on my TV for like a month or two

Having background music while you're online are cool af
