Like I said, most people share their accomodation and the biggest loss is that of privacy. But I have started to notice how people start inventing ways to regain their privacy in these cramped up spaces.
The simplest solution - Earphones : When Akio Morito was thinking of carrying music along, he never thought that it would one day be a device to regain privacy. Once back from office, within minutes you have your headphones ON. Turn on the music and lapse into your own world.
Where the rooms are shared by more than 2 people, there would always be cross conversation and at times you just dont want to talk. The earphones are your first line of defense. Does'nt matter whether you are listening to music or not, it has to be ON so that you can pretend that you did not hear.
Something I really really hate. It took a long time time to learn to be "Present", to pay attention to people right around you, to be responsive. And now I am learning how to IGNORE!!!
