Now that I’m working, it’s become even more important for me to be heard by customers and coworkers. I find it vexing to try projecting my voice constantly, as the volume at which people find me 100% audible sounds like yelling to me. It feels as though I’m shouting everything I say, which bothers me. I wonder if regularly speaking at this louder feels-like-shouting-tone will eventually cause it to just become the norm for my voice. 4 months ago

I have a habit of speaking quietly, due to my shyness. It’s really irritating to constantly have to repeat myself, so I’ve found the perfect solution! Speak up so that people can actually hear me and I don’t have to waste so much breath on exasperated sighs. Genius, huh? 16 months ago
