Is it common for someone to hate their own voice?

[OlderThanILook]

I don't talk in person very much because I hate the sound of my own voice. It has no bass in it, and I talk exactly how I type. I feel like I just annoy people when I talk. I'll go an entire day or two without saying a single word because I'd rather just stay inside and not interact with anyone if they're going to think I'm weird or annoying.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Yeah. I hated my voice for a long time.

Strangely, playing DnD is what got me to like my voice. I ran a game for a friend for a year and he loved my voice enough to ask me to read at his wedding.

Since then, I've played even more DnD and other tabletop rpgs and practiced all sorts of voices.

Now, I fairly regularly get asked if I sing, and get a lot of compliments on my natural and acted voices.

It took a while, but now I love my voice.

I hate my voice cause people call me Ma'am and I can prove that I am 100% Male it makes me sick so every time I introduce myself when making a call I say Mr. D** O*** my 81-year-old father has a deeper voice, I don't know what the heck happened to me?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for MHO :)

[Sandeeppingping]

I don't but I hate it when I'm nervous and trying to hide it, it gets more high pitched which I don't need to explain why for a man that'd feel like you're fucking up big time

My boyfriend hates his voice, it isn't as "deep" as he'd like it to be.
I don't hate my voice until I'm with the ladies on my mom's side of the family. My mom, aunt, grandmother & I all sound very similar & people get use confused if they're not facing us... We don't hear it

I don’t hate my voice in speaking, but I don’t like to talk because I feel whenever I do that people look at me like I’m stupid or annoying.


I absolutely hate voice recordings where I talk, because my voice is nasally and monotone. I love to listen to my singing voice though 🤫

[Paris13]

You have An Adorable face. lol!!! Never mind Voice. I always Talked like a Little 8 yr Old... Now a Teen Voice. It is cute. lol!!! xxoo

[Anjoomkabir]

I hate recording voice notes

I feel like I sound so pretentious in them.

[southernqueen617]

Well, I hate my own voice so probably common. I have a very very thick southern accent and quite often I change my voice so people can even understand me.

[Sandeeppingping]

YEEEEE HAWWWWWWW

[AngryCarl]

I hate mine, certainly. Only when it's recorded though. It sounds fine from inside my head. How the f does that work?

[Fuentes]

I sound pretty Cali westcoast but I'm not a fan of my voice lol like that but it doesn't bug me

[CuriousMufuxka]

Yep. Well unless they discover that it can be tweaked with lessons. I still hate mine..

[Guy13]

Sort of...

[Guy13]

It took me lots of recording my voice while practicing jokes in the mirror. I eventually got use to it but it took awhile. That is a good way to get rid of that thing. by the way. Plus it makes girls laugh... nothing like corny animal jokes with a little bit of story added to get women laughing. And when they laugh sincerely, they Like, etc...

[OlderThanILook]

I should try that. I usually only hear myself on someone's stream when I'm talking in a voice chat or something, and it's painful to hear how I sound.

[Guy13]

Yep, go for it because no one cares how you sound when they are laughing...

[FunkyMonkee]

I used to, John Lennon hated his.

[Likes2drive]

Yeah I think most people do

[In_Trance]

yeah
