I appreciate you trying to help, and that could definitely add a layer of peacefulness to the work day, but I’m never going to be okay with paper thin walls and doors. Though I didn’t add this to my original post, I also feel highly uncomfortable about me, my guests, and my daily routine being overheard. I need privacy. So it’s not just a frustration over the lack of control over other people’s noise, but anxiety over not being truly at home in my own space.
