a lot of the time my voice seems to come off angry or irritated, probably because I sound kind of monotone most of the time no matter what I’m feeling.
although this is my natural tone of voice, lately I notice I’ve been both consciously and subconsciously altering the way I say certain things to sound “sweeter”.
I know I’m doing it so that the other person can totally be sure that i mean something in a not-angry way, but every time I hear that voice come out of my mouth it feels really uncomfortable and forced. I feel like an alien mimicking human speech or something like that. Mostly i just wish i could talk normally without having to worry I was sounding rude, and i’m wondering if anyone else feels like this too lol
