person A: I was trying to study for a final but my neighbors were being really loud_comma_ and I had a hard time focusing
person B: Did you go over and ask them to turn down the volume?
person A: No_comma_ I'm shy and try to avoid confrontation as much as possible
person B: Well_comma_ I hope you have some really good earphones - or that they quiet down - it's a big egotistical to think that no one around you cares when you are that loud.
