Anyone Talk Too Loudly?

Post Reply New Topic

Opposite. I talk very quietly.

I have a low, quiet voice too.

I too have problems modulating my voice, though for me I usually have the opposite problem - people don't hear me because I don't talk loudly or clearly enough. Others take advantage of this when they interrupt me, if I try to finish what I was saying they just keep talking over me, knowing I don't have the volume to compete with them. But then on occasion, when I get really caught up in a conversation, I realize in retrospect that my voice was probably too loud (although I could be mistaken, since nobody's ever actually told me it is). I also have recently developed a tendency to raise my voice a bit when I'm feeling defensive, especially when I'm trying to talk to someone who I know has a habit of interrupting or talking over me, and in those situations if someone talks over me, I do raise my voice and continue talking because otherwise I'm not going to get a word in, I'm just going to get another verbal beating.

I find I talk too loudly on public transport. Maybe it's the background noise of the train or bus or other people talking. There are definitely louder people than me. But one of my best friends says, "Do you want other people to hear you?" So I try to quieten down. Inevitably I get loud again though.

I've always had a tendency to talk loud.

A lot of autistic people tend to talk either unusually loud or unusually soft, or otherwise have unusual qualities in their voices. It's one of those many odds and ends of little quirks which, if you have enough of them, add up to "autism."

I actually have the opposite thing, I talk way too quietly. I never spoke loudly until my dad's hearing loss (which he has struggled with for years) became a big problem. When I'm with my dad now, I have to speak at a high volume but the rest of the time, my voice is pretty quiet and I have several speech impediments so I'm pretty quiet unless I'm talking about something I'm quite passionate about

I go between talking too loud or too soft. Not necessarily an aspie trait, I’ve seen people being loud without being ND. Some people from certain nations tend to be loud too
