I recently bought an iPod shuffle and it was an absolutely brilliant decision. Anybody with SA should have an iPod or MP3 Player, or something! For many reasons!
You can't hear people:
I don't know about anyone else but I'd rather not hear people talking negatively behind my back, or if they're just insulting me in the street. I never leave the house without my headphones on full volume (though i think I've become dependant on them). That way, when i pass someone who i think might insult me, i just divert my eye contact to the ground - and if they comment on that...So what!!? I can't hear them so it won't damage me!
Its also helpful if you go out looking like crap and want to avoid everyone you know. You can use the excuse "I didn't hear you", if they decide to confront you about it - and you won't be lying!
My housemate is constantly bitching about me, and i can usually hear every word she says - and for the things i can't hear, i become paranoid. I really would rather not hear her bitching about me so the headphones usually go on whenever i hear her voice!
Then there's the Audio Books such as Paul McKenna and some CBT stuff.
I can listen to these when I'm in the gym aswell as motivational music. (Motivational music being Gigi D'Agostino and Guns'n'Roses! xD)
iPod - best invention ever!
