DAE always wear headphones?

Ever since I was young and got these noise cancelling over ear headphones I am constantly wearing them when possible. Its not necessary for me to listen to something, just having them on is enough. I am just so sensitive to sounds. Or to silence (because to me silence is never truly silent). I can control the sounds around me with them. And for me it has to be over ear, I cannot stand in-ear. Been a while since I tried in ears though.. So while I'm at it, any good recommendations for headphones for working out and going on runs and the like?

And anyone else that constantly has headphones on? 😅 Part of me is worried I am making myself even more sensitive to outside noise as I am avoiding it whenever I can. But also, I can manage without headphones if I must. I will likely always have the choice of wearing headphones though, so why shouldn't I?
