really depends on your headphones. i have a pair of headphones that when you barely have the volume up, you can perfectly hear the music without them being on your head.
I play my music at a volume where I can hear it clearly. I also don't care what other people think about me.

Exactly what I was going to post.
I used to worry about this, just keep reminding yourself no one can hear.
(but if the reason your afraid is because you listen to Justin Bieber then you may want to take the volume down a little, just to be safe)
I can see you now, just sitting there listening to your ipod when suddenly you get up and shout "IT'S BACH, OKAY?"
I don't give a fuck if anyone can hear my music, that's their problem.
I have this. I wasn't so aware of it until I started getting told it was too loud a lot. Generally I don't care too much, but if it is a quiet place I try to keep the music to just me.

And you're the cause, so that who they are going to complain to if anyone.
Couldn't care less if anyone heard my music while I was standing/sitting next to them in a bus or elevator, but shit, not being able to hear anything else but my music makes me think I'm breathing [i]too loud[/i].
I do this occasionally when I first start listening, but it gets worse when I can't find any earbuds and I have to resort to using a backup pair of regular headphones.
This reminds me how I always feel like I am breathing to loud when I listen to my headphones.
It highly depends on who I'm sitting near.
Blast porn on your mp3 player and that should cure you
With me its the other way around, I could care less what other people think if they have a problem then they can ask me to lower it. easy as that~
i always listen to music on the go with some sort of noise-canceling headphones so even at the lowest volumes it sounds like it's really loud and people are going to hear it
Don't blast the music like a retard and you wont have any problems
[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;21150358]I get something similar but possibly more weird. I sometimes become aware of my breathing when i'm listening to music, and I get short of breath because I can't tell how loud i'm breathing (due to the music), so I think i'm sounding like i'm breathing really heavily/creepy-ish and I take really shallow breaths to compensate. I have to take out an earbud so I can breathe normally.[/QUOTE]
Oh my god, I thought I was the only one who got that. I've had it for like 3 years, but last year it mysteriously went away and I didn't care about my breathing anymore. I think I just tried to force myself not to think about it.
I get the same thing, I never listen in school because I'm afraid people can hear my music.
Why's everyone worried about people hearing their music? I'm a fan of John freaking Cage and blast his music on my headphones daily! Do I care if someone hears? NO!
I like it when people know what I'm listening to because I don't listen to shit.
People actually care? My music is too loud for me to know that someone can hear it.
Deaf before age 40? HELL YEAR! Do I care? HELL NO!
I wear a beanie with built-in speakers.
Can be audible to others at high volume.
[QUOTE=luck_or_loss;21150303]but then everyone starts looking at you because you now have on expensive headphones.[/QUOTE]
Don't get stupidly expensive ones then.
There is a kid who walks around my college with his skullcandy headphones around his neck blasting techno. I judge him like you couldn't believe. But if someone just enjoys loud music without purposefully trying to get attention then I have no problem with it.

I've tried to not think about it but it never seems to help. It's pretty damn hard to force yourself to not be aware of something.

John Cage? What would be so bad about people hearing you blast that. He's very avant garde, yes, but not in an "offensive" way. Now if you were doing one of his contemporaries like Varese, Schaeffer, Ussachevsky, or the like that did shit like musique concrete, I can see you being concerned

I have this. I always hide my screen from others so they can't see what I'm listening to, I'm afraid they'll laugh.
Mostly because it's usually vidya music.
I don't have this now that I switched to closed headphones. Almost no sound can get in, let alone out.
This is so true xD I also have a habit of hiding my screen, dunno why :S
You can often catch me doing this.... I'm also guilty of doing this with my cell phone's ringer, making sure that I'm the only one who hears it when it goes off.
I really don't care, sometimes I'm in class with my friend listening to Italian educational music for the elderly at full blast and we just laugh our heads off. And you can hear it from across the whole room.
I like others being able to hear my music. I listen to the smiths so girls want to bone me.
