I want to practice speaking in my room but I’m scared I’ll get teased
I live with my aunt and cousin, I’m not close to both of them and they see me as the “shy” “introverted” person, my mom on the other hand who I’m very comfortable speaking to sees me as the opposite but she knows I have this problem (but she isn’t here living with me)
I’m sure my aunt will start to tease me and even be suspicious if I got a boyfriend or something just because I started speaking
That’s what I’m asking help for, how do I make them not be able to hear me?
My room’s small, I have a closet but it’s full of clothes (the clothes are placed vertically), and I wanted to use that as a place where I can speak but it’s too late now. I do have an exhaust fan that could maybe block out my voice from the outside but I’m not sure if that works
I could try going to the very corner of my room and cover myself with pillows and blankets but I’m still not sure if that will work
I really want to start talking with my online friends, experimenting with my voice, and other stuff.
I’ve tried just whispering but that would be pretty awkward just whispering in a voice call with my friends and sometimes my mic doesn’t even pick it up.
I’ve tried looking for a voice dampener online but they’re kinda expensive for me and my parents won’t let me get them and think they’re a waste of money and they’ll tell me to “just talk”
I asked my mom for help before, like maybe I could go to a therapist? Get counseling? She told me she’d try something, even my teacher recommended it but they haven’t done anything yet.
Anyway.. I think the best thing I could do right now is just to practice how I can talk so I would slowly get used to it and maybe be able to make my voice a little louder. What’s stopping me is that I’m shy they’ll start teasing me like “oh wow you can talk?” and I really don’t want that. So I want some techniques or whatever that could help me with that problem
Sorry if my english isn’t so good
You can ask me some questions and I’ll answer !
