I've noticed that when I talk to people, I rarely use my "own voice" but imitate other's who I have heard speaking before. It doesn't really matter what language their speaking, I imitate them either way. If it's Finnish, which is my native language, I sometimes copy different dialects depending what other people are using.
But it's worse when using English. For few month's now I've been speaking only English because of my studies and when I hear native accents I can't help but to start imitating them. I don't even notice it myself until later on and not to mention controlling it. Like yesterday I was watching tv and there was someone with Scottish accent and you can probably guess how I was speaking today....
It's just leads to more weird and embarrassing situations which I already have too often.
Am I alone with my weirdness or does anyone else have same problem?
