I literally only speak in soft tone. I cannot express much intensity nor emotion in that way. I cannot shout or scream without being so conscious it makes me physically ill. Sometimes, when I played football I was randomly selected to do the "1...2...3" countdown so the team could yell, but I cannot even do that. Everyone was just a bit confused, as I cannot raise my voice like a normal human.
Every time I have to yell, even just my name, I cringe so hard it hurts.
But that's not a big of a problem, as I almost never have to do it. The problem is this way of speaking makes me sound extremely depressed most of the time, even If I'm not. It's just impossible for me to put energy into my voice without being hyperaware and dying inside. Might be a rare thing, I don't know. I'm just extremely uncomfortable doing that.
How can I even fix this, tbh? I've been talking my whole life this way, and I don't talk much anyway. I feel so awkward talking with more intensity, and everyone notices if I try, it's so obvious I can't do it like a normal human.
