I'm whispering a lot...

I just got back from the bank today, and i notice that when i was "answering" the bank teller questions and literally it felt like a whisper. She had to go, "What was that?" a few time. And not just that, i noticed that i've been doing that a lot lately...Like i can't turn up the volume of my voice because i'm scared that i might start screaming at peoples face... What the hell is going on with me...

If you're too afraid you will yell at others, you might lower your voice too much, and vice versa. Maybe it happens because you're too self conscious in that moment?

it comes in phases! thats what ive noticed, maybe its the same for you. ill speak real soft if i ve had a rough few months, it comes back gradually. also sudden weather changes! ive noticed that kind of causes it too!

Even if I whispered, the whole world could hear me. I've been "blessed" with a naturally clear, projective voice. I don't shout, but my voice carries really well, it's like I was born with a microphone. People tell me I should sing but there's no way that's happening.

It's really embarrassing. I'll say stuff and then suddenly everyone's staring at me. Definitely not good for my SA.

Today I went to the supermarket, the checkout lady asked "hi how are you?" and I'm pretty sure I silently mouthed "uh good thanks.." before ducking behind the computer and cash register + my mother (yes I am short!)

Similar occrunces with me today where i work. The girls had to ask me twice what i said and in my own head i thought i sounded normal. i tend to mumble when i dont want to be somewhere and today after around two hours of my shift i'd had enough so i sort of wasn't there for the rest of the shift. though towards the end i joked around a bit more.

when it becomes really quiet at work and nobody is really talking i tend to talk quietly. the problem is that i feel uncomfortable at work. its high pressure and staff are in your face and walking by all the time. sometimes i just talk even if its not always clear what i'm saying at first to trigger some momentum in other people who are being quiet. i'll start off a little mumbly then i'll become clearer and more confident. but yeh under pressure my voice fades out because i dont want everyone to hear or something like that. i need to get over that.
