I did a study on this in college actually, sort of. What most people find soothing about nature sounds such as waterfalls, rain and wind is actually a hint of white noise (maybe pink noise). For people who don't know, white noise is a sound where the entire audible spectrum of frequencies (20 Hz - 20 kHz) is played at once. In nature, the noise is usually very subtle because nature and structures distort and bend the noise, so you might not hear every frequency (not taking human hearing into account). Nice video Joeseph!
So technically the music that is made by white noises are under the 20Hz espectrum and that's the reason of why it is so pleasant to play it in the background or in headphones in a moderate volume, because of the lack of Hz that the base sounds (referring to the "white noises") are under the 20Hz?
I am highly sensitive too : the noises, bass, the light of the sun.. I didn't understand why at school they switch on the light, whereas there were enough light inside. The white paper reflecting the light tired me. The light inside supermarkets too. I enjoy be on my balcony the night, appreciate the "noise" of the space, and wind.
I had an ex boyfriend who loved loud places. He wanted to go to live music or a club for every outing. I could never fully explain to him why it was painful to me.
@Megan Ring sounds like your ex was quite the out going guy but completely unresponsive to your needs. Hopefully you have found someone better (if you have wanted to). Welcome to the channel!
Um ... we ARE doing something when we sit there quietly. We are thinking. Or researching. Who pretends to do something? I have two jobs. One is in the bowels of the library where nobody talks and we all wear earbuds or sit in silence. It's beautiful. My second job is as a personal assistant to another INTJ (a psych teacher). One of the things we enjoy (other than dark humor and cackling) is sitting there quietly for hours without the need to say anything unless we have something to say.
@Jessica Rose I know right? I can pretend to do stuff but why do I need to when there is so much actual stuff to do! Those sound like awesome jobs to BTW
Resting angry face isn't accurate... it's our Thinking Face. It means we are listening to you or we are thinking. People take everything so personally. Trust me, we don't care enough to do something like that AT you. Be flattered we are contemplating you at all. LOL And yes on the HSP thing and I contribute this to our inferior SE. And yes it HURTS. Sound hurts. Bright lights hurt. Physically hurt. Too many people too close HURT. It's overwhelming and I have employed DBT techniques, that I learned for this very reason, at Walmart. LOL
@@Alex.Kalashnik Dude.. yes. Walmart ... it's ceilings are too high, it is too bright, there are too many people, the aisles are too narrow ... I have literally thrown up after being in walmart. My worst panic attacks have been, you guessed it, in Walmart. Target doesn't do it to me. I attribute this to lower ceilings and more private feeling spaces. I also think there is a subtle smell thing going on as well.
I study with a tv series or a movie xD I need a distraction for my distracting thoughts when studying or working in quiet places. That way only one thing can distract me. And I am the queen of masking and blending in, or at least i think I am... I don't try to improve my resting angry face that actually happens when concentrated on something, that way I don't get distracted from my momentum.
As an INTJ myself, I aim to be as paced as you are in your articulation. I'm learning a lot about how to better communicate verbally through watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your ideas in this format. ...and keep up the great work!
I've iniated a conversation and instantly regretted it, on and on talk talk talk bla bla bla. Say hi, realize instantly it's an ESTP insert cuss word here...
PS I just was going to comment on ENFPs. Ok.. first it is impossible to not like somebody who makes it very clear that they think you are the best thing ever. Second ... my ex ... he NEVER STOPPED TALKING. Like ... HE NEVER STOPPED TALKING!!!! It drove me bonkers. One time I got very upset and told him to just be quiet and not say anything for ONE MINUTE. HE COULDN'T DO IT!!! He literally could NOT do it. Wow. He is the same guy, however, who when I asked him, 'Well? What did you think was going to happen?", replied, "I didn't." ............... wtf
@Jessica Rose sounds like your ex was a real piece of work there 😂. My ENFP friend actually likes some quiet times and knows how to appreciate them. Perhaps some ENFPs are more in balance than others
I prefer the company of INFJ's. ENFP's are too flighty for me. Car stereos drive me nuts, too, as do barking dogs and screaming brats. Sudden loud noises always make me cringe. If I go to a concert or movie (rare), I wear ear plugs.
Nice video that rings very true! When I started going to clubs and bars in my teens I could never understand the thrill they got from the loud music, crowds etc. Typically I would blend into the background allowing my more extrovert friends to take centre stage and happily sit and people watch as far away from the music speakers as possible. Years later one of my friends said how she felt safe leaving her bag, coat etc with me as the look on my face (yes I have the typical INTJ RBF) was enough to deter anyone from approaching!
@Philip Richardson welcome to the channel! Thank you for the compliment. I completely agree. Whatever the thrill of loud music and crowds is I will never completely understand. I do however understand the basic psychological aspect of what those things do for an extrovert but I would much rather keep a nice distance
"Blend in to the environment", I guess that it is a very strategic and helpful way of being in everywhere (except for parties which are the hell in earth for me)
@Angular Cross LOL I dislike loud noisy parties so if you are referring to that I completely agree. If the party is kind of quiet and relaxed or I can find a comfortable place away from all of it then I could be comfortable. Even then though I will probably feel out of place lol
@@intjoseph that's a really good point, the noisy, non logic, agglomerate and long timed parties are so common here in Mexico and the quiet, and relaxed ones are just like "business party" for a lot of people in here so I thought automatically about the loudly and noisy parties when writing the comment LOL
@Angular Cross LOL I can only imagine how nothing but loud noisy parties can possibly be like! I am fortunate that the few I go to don’t normally get loud and are relaxed and quiet. By the way Welcome to the channel! 😄
@Angular Cross LOL on the party front I am fortunate. I do have loud cars and radios in the neighborhood that I have to contend with unfortunately at times. I hope that you enjoy all of my content on the channel and in the future

I thought it was just me. I often don't bother turning lights on in my flat when doing stuff like making a cuppa.

I used to hang out with an entp guy who’d do this to me too lol. He’d even turn on the car music super loud and want me to sing along... 😶
@Vanessa wow... some ENFPs ...

Trying to identify the INTJ in public... They are the one that avoids being in public.

I don’t like when it’s too dark, but I also have always hated bright lights in stores, Walmart in particular.

@kalashnik3 welcome to the channel!
Yes silence and dark are blessing till unscientific activity starts to happen
I’m definitely an HSP. INTJ-T 7w6, & I have a high probability of tetrachromacy! I wrote it that way because I have no physical evidence (yet).

I hate to break it to you but you're acting more like an INTP the intj is a little bit more assertive and my personal opinion
