they got the picture really fast for me, as I ignored them intentionally until they tried something other than talking endlessly in my ear. "My headphones are noise cancelling I can't hear you"

then again I didn't use them in communal areas unless I was getting a snack, and if I did thst I generally had pass through enabled, so my family would need to go into my room or den, and then try to talk to me.

The amount of entitlement if they entered my room then bitched that I was ignoring them, they would get my attention and they defo wouldn't want it anymore. I would have words lol
