In your opinion, is it ok to sing certain songs in only the 2nd and third octave when the lows are very low (E2, D2 and below)? I sing in the 4th during some some but in others, it doesn‘t sound right/seem to fit into the song well.

For example, singing Rammstein only in 2nd and 3rd.

This whole business of downvoting people and lecturing and even insulting them when they post something even slightly edgy or cringy or opinionated is not going to end well for anyone. Especially not here, in a place where many have issues with empathy and nuance.

I‘ve seen it play out a million times. Mostly with angry young men/teens: 1.) Young, uninformed/misinformed man/teen goes online to vent 2.) He gets downvoted/cursed at/insulted for stating his (often wrong but very strongly held) opinions 3.) He gets extremely angry and searches for other communities which will accept him and his beliefs…4.) He finds them 5.) At this point, he is lost to polite society and may never enter it again. He becomes a radical and wreaks havoc upon the world.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I believe that the black and white thinking and empathy issues (at least knowing when and where to use empathy appropriately…I don‘t think empathy is lacking, in general) and emotional regulation issues in autists can sometimes make them more prone to extremism. In many cases, they can be extremely good. But too many become extremely bad. Very bad. Very dangerous.

We need to educate these people. Be empathetic to these people. Keep these people on our side. They often are simply lashing out because they deeply desire attention. Are they in the wrong? Oftentimes they 100% are. But for the sake of them, ourselves, and society at large, we can‘t afford to push them away…not unless they are already entirely gone and beyond help.

When told „Would you rather be right or happy?“ do you also oftentimes think „I would like to be right!“

I‘m working on changing it but the instinct is very strong at times.

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria experience today: I was downvoted and questioned for simply posting a list of pitch frequencies, stating they could be educational in a singing sub. „How is this educational?“, the person asked.

I responded to the question with this:

1.) It‘s educational in itself to know the frequencies you are singing 2.) Certain frequency analyzers may only tell you the frequency you hit and you can find corresponding notes here 3.) It gives you an idea of how rapidly your vocal cords are coming together and vibrating when you sing or speak

They then downvote me, ignoring and attempting to invalidate my points. I get really, really mad and think „they have no right to say that!“. Now people will see the downvote and they‘ll agree and downvote as well and make me look like an idiot, even though I‘m not. I start to then think „this must be a result of the failing American educational system“. And get even more upset…and worried about the state of my country.

How do I stop spiraling out when disagreements occur and when I feel I‘m being insulted by ignorant people?

I started a new group for bass singers and those who enjoy listening to bass singing. Join, if interested! It‘s a place to both share music and to learn how to expand one‘s lower range as well.
