I remember as a kid, my brother and I taped ourselves and I was so horrified and shocked by the sound of my voice- a bit like the opposite of those videos they have of cochlear implant people who always look so happy to hear their own voice for the first time.
And no I don't sound like a strangled monster, just the unfamiliarity of the sound I equate with my own voice.
Yes, people not clapping their hands over their ears and screaming NOOOOoooo every time I speak tells me that I may have a version of body dysmorphia that is just voice related lol
I was in puberty when I first listened to a recording of my voice. I have no idea how I got that far without hearing it but my reaction definitely confirms this.
I commented on how bad my voice sounded on the video and all I got was awkward silence...
I'm fine with my voice now (mostly) but this really recked me.

yea me too, but then I realize how others treat me with my voice and I'm like, even though I may not like it, it doesn't seem to bother others much
