Are you loud a lot?

Post Reply New Topic

I have this HUGE issue of when I'm excited over something I talk louder and my family snap at me and get mad that OMG! you're being loud quite down!! ! I know this is an Aspie thing from everything I've read but was wondering if others had this and how do you deal with it? Besides not talking or losing my voice I don't see this trait going away ever! I've always done it!

That's exactly like me I tend to be loud I have to try and remember to talk quietly when out shopping.

I'm not loud-
I'm hypersensitive to sound and normally want to throttle people who are.

Maybe just try to be more cognizant of your noise level?

I hate it when people tell me I'm too loud, because I don't do it on purpose. It's just the way I talk. I'm told that my normal voice is like shouting and my whispering voice is actually a normal volume for the way most people talk. So when I need to be quiet, I whisper in my softest voice.

Me too! I usually don't realize it until someone tells me I don't need to yell (which I certainly don't feel like I'm doing), or I get looks from those around me when I'm in public. Ironically it annoys me when others do it. I also have a problem talking over people when I'm excited. People will try to interject while I'm speaking about something I know a lot about or enjoy, but instead of recognizing the fact that they want to speak, I tend to just keep going on and on and get louder and louder. Once again, I don't realize it until after the fact. I also don't like it when it's done to me. Man, I wish I wasn't so ambiguous.

I also get told that I'm talking too loud. I don't mean to talk loud when I get excited. It just happens.

Yes. People just tell me to lower my voice or that I am too loud or shouting.

I think I tend to be a pretty loud talker. I just have dealt with it the way I have dealt with any other issue like that: think about it constantly. Try my hardest to talk at a typical volume.

I wen through quite a few years when people were telling me I talked too loud. I made a conscious effort to be quieter and the issue seems to have faded away.

I'm loud. At aspie support meetings most others seemed loud too.

It could be to make up for self esteem and/or solitude etc issues

I'm often loud and I don't realize it, especially when I'm excited. So many times I've had people tell me to be quiet.

Other times people say they can't hear me, though.

I'm the opposite. People always tell me to speak up. The thing is, I speak at a volume that's comfortable for me. Everyone else is too loud.

Yes I'm quiet too, as a rule. It's been a while since I've gone too loud, and even the quietness might be improving - at least when people seem to be deliberately ignoring me, I sometimes realise that I'd been talking too quietly for them to have been able to even know I was talking.
