Have you ever successfully or unsuccessfully (ie cut yourself) caught a falling knife?

Me personally, the library. It's so quiet, I can hear myself think, focus, and get thinks done

Whether in friendships, relationship, fake lottery notice or whatever, they make people invest their emotion, time and/or money and played with others' feelings. They are good liars too.

Were they also an innocent, normal child at some point in their lives? Did something terrible happen to them? Or are they natural users and were born like that from the get go?

We tend to prefer quilted. 1 ply is rough on the keister. The cushy stuff leaves little bits behind (I honestly feel violated by those lol), the kind with ridges is better than the cushy but also leaves the little bits. I don’t think I will ever be on board with reusable toilet paper. You?

Why do we hate the sound of our own voices?


To summarise:

Introduction = "The discomfort we have over hearing our voices in audio recordings is probably due to a mix of physiology and psychology."

Reason 1 = "For one, the sound from an audio recording is transmitted differently to your brain than the sound generated when you speak." "People generally perceive their voice as deeper and richer when they speak. The recorded voice, in comparison, can sound thinner and higher pitched, which many find cringeworthy."

Reason 2 = "There’s a second reason hearing a recording of your voice can be so disconcerting. It really is a new voice – one that exposes a difference between your self-perception and reality. Because your voice is unique and an important component of self-identity, this mismatch can be jarring. Suddenly you realize other people have been hearing something else all along."

Conclusion = "Even though we may actually sound more like our recorded voice to others, I think the reason so many of us squirm upon hearing it is not that the recorded voice is necessarily worse than our perceived voice. Instead, we’re simply more used to hearing ourselves sound a certain way."
