Ok I've noticed I don't get to many replies on this subject and I'm not sure if it's because no one can relate or because I'm not explaining enough or what.. But this is my situation..

I'm still convinced I'm talking with different accents. I don't think I always talk with these accents but they show up at random times. The reason I feel like Im talking like this is because of situations I've been in where I've noticed people talking with these accents even though the topic of conversation was not about these accents an::p:d it happens usually after I speak Also I know for a fact these people don't speak like this.

The accents I'm convinced I'm speaking in are either a Brooklyn accent also kinda sounds like a boston accent or a European accent like a London accent.

I'm from Texas and am Mexican so there's no reason I should sound like this. I have two really good freinds who are brothers and This is where I get most of my social interaction. I asked the older one who is my closest freind if I've ever spoke like this and he told me no and that its just a coincidence but I felt felt like he was lying because there's been a situation where him and someone else started talking to eachother in a Brooklyn accent right after I had spoke and when I Asked them why the both talked like that they looked at eachother and laughed and I felt stupid because I think I tried to lower my voice because I'm insecure about coming off as sounding like a women so when I speAk low I sound like that ?

The reason I continue to still feel like I'm tAlking like this is because everytime I talk to his brother he answers me more than once in that London accent and I know for a fact it's me because he never answers anyone else with it. He sill even use the word mate which mAkes ms further believe I'm talking like that. Everytime this happens I feel like I realized I am sounding like this. But sometimes I feel like I'm tLking comfortably and relaxed and I'm still talking with an Aussie or British sounding accents almost like the beAtles..

All this constantly makes me question how I sound when I speAk and that's on top of already not knowing what to say to people in the first place so thAt leaves me paranoid that I might sound like a ****ing retard.

Does anyone have a possible explanation for why I'm doing this? I think it has something to do with me already being insecure with my voice but at the same time I'm not trying to be fake. I honestly don't know what to think I'm soooooo ****ing confused and this particular problem plagues me. What do you think?

No one had ever asked me and I've assumed it's because they would just rather go along with a joke.. I don't know why but can you kind of understand how this might be happening ? I mean I know it sounds crazy but do you see why I might be afraid to speak up?

Yes, you must feel apprehensive talking to others. As with most fears/anxieties, its all a process of how we think, the mind can make the strangest things seem real. Do you have a doctor or therapist to discuss it with? It could be that its not that unusual

I've just come to think people aren't upfront and would rather joke around than ask me straight up because they don't want to be put in a weird position if I say what are you talking about? I could be wrong that this is happening but it's happened more than once and the way it happened was just so obvious that itd me doing this.

If it really bothers you that much why not confront the people who're copying you? You can either ignore/laugh it off or ask them to stop. I don't think you should stress so much about your voice (probably easier said than done I know). I mean it's not like you're trying to fake an accent on purpose right? It's just the natural way you talk. My voice changes too, like I have my serious voice, my casual/goofy voice when I talk with friends, and sometimes I stutter when I'm nervous. I try not to worry about it much.
