I really really hate my voice

I posted the same thing a long time ago but I just want to say how frustrated I am with how my voice sounds. My voice sounds really quiet and soft. I almost sound like a child even tho I’m about to turn 20! This time I was made fun of by two grown men. They heard me say “hello” to someone and when I turned my back, one of them mimicked me. He said “hello” with exaggerated childish voice. I was SO pissed!! I wanted to pretend like I’m mute or something! Ughhh!!! Please tell me I’m not the only one who have the same problem😔😭

    Everyone hates the sound of their own voice. I know i do and people have actually told me thay like it . Hah! As far as the randos making fun of you, it is easy to speak stupidly and exaggerate a voice of anyone to make fun of them. In reality those people are the ones with the problems. I bet your voice is nice, we all just hate to hear our own.

    It's ironic that by taking the piss out of you for supposedly sounding like a child, they've just proved themselves to be children.

    I assume you're soft-spoken, I find it very endearing.

    I have the same problem. I'm old enough to be your mother. I'm sorry to say that baby voice doesn't go away with age.

    Just embrace it. There's nothing else you can do.

    I'm sorry you don't like your voice. For what it's worth, I don't have a really great voice either. It's always been rather passive and quiet. People often do not hear me because of it. It's irritating sometimes, especially when I need to get people's attention at work or something. I've learned to cope with it throughout my life though. Directness and word choice has a pretty good effect on people. As a child, it used to get me in trouble sometimes when I was at school.

    You are certainly not the only one. I hate my voice too. I caught a horrible case of pneumonia after a two month winter excursion in the Rockies. My voice has not been the same since. I am self conscious about it, but its less and less as the years go by. Dont worry about what other people think or do. Ignore it, or laugh and tell them to grow up. Whatever makes you feel better.

    I used to really hate the sound of a taped play back of my voice. I actually had the opposite issue with my voice. I had a big, deep voice that sounded like a man to me when I was a kid. I remember singing in a Christmas choir in elementary school, and having a deeper voice than most of the boys. It probably wasn't as bad as I thought, though. I'm not a baritone, or anything, I'm just an alto.

    Anyway, when I was in college I thought I needed to change my voice, but as it turned out it was fine just the way it was.

    I think it would really help you to record, and listen to your voice. I also think you should practice reading out loud. Are you shy? I'm no expert, but I think if a person is shy it can be harder to speak up for a lot of people. Despite my deeper voice if I'm feeling shy a hello from me can sound like a little hi.

    Those guys who mocked you are just jerks.
