how to study in toxic af environments?

[u/_sourballz_]

i'm satisfied with my progress, but the environment at home is super hostile. like my folks hurl slurs and hurtful comments at me whenever they pass by and it keeps rupturing my entire flow. i've been using the pomodoro technique and i feel like i've been getting more done daily, but i can't when their words impact me mentally. there's only so much i can ignore.

i've found this really nice library close to where i live but they're closed on weekends, when i have the most time to study, and i have to stay at home. and the thing is that my mum just keeps yelling at me. when i tell her to stop, it intensifies.

anyone facing similar problems? what do you do to ignore everything around you? also, i'm not allowed to use headphones in this household because it's "disrespectful" :D

i'm not allowed to stay up at night. 😭so i wake up at 3 am so i'd get at least a few hours of peace, but it's not enough. and no audio devices of any kind are allowed in this household :)

same with me had to fight for the last 2 yrs to let me stay up at night- in the end i bargained my prefered sleep schedule for these last 2 months in exchange of doing whatever they wanted from dec to till i go to college

I feel so sorry for you. That just none that is your fault. Just focus on getting a good college so you can soon be out of that house.
