Context: One time I was trying to study for a final but my neighbors were being really loud. I found it really hard to focus
Speaker 1: I was trying to study for a final but my neighbors were being really loud, and I had a hard time focusing
Speaker 2: Did you go over and ask them to turn down the volume?
Speaker 1: No, I'm shy and try to avoid confrontation as much as possible
Speaker 2: Well, I hope you have some really good earphones - or that they quiet down - it's a big egotistical to think that no one around you cares when you are that loud.
