I Hate My Own Voice

A coworker called me over yesterday. “Hey, don’t you ever check your social media?”

No, not really. Not in the last month at least.

They had sent me a video of one of my former employees being a dingus. I don’t know why they thought I needed this stress, but here we are.

But then I could hear my recorded voice. I swear I sound like a country-ass Kermit the Frog. I hate my voice. Don’t ever ask me to do a podcast.

I don’t mind my internal voice. It’s fine. I can hear a little bit of my father in it. He may have annoyed or even pissed me off in other ways, but his voice didn’t bother me. I actually liked talking to him on the phone most of the time. Why does my voice sound so different recorded? Who knows? But I’m fine with what I deal with day to day within myself.

But to hear myself in a video is so damn annoying to me. It’s like I’m hearing a different person. I don’t recognize them. Is this what I sound like to others? No wonder I can’t sing for shit either.

Don’t anyone do this to me again. Thanks.
