Do you sound or act old/shaky /depressed/small?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you ever have this feeble, quiet, shy, unsure, sad, shaky, old, tired, and/or "dying" voice? I do sometimes and it annoys the crap out of me and now that I'm away from my mother who used to sound like that a lot and I don't have to hear that disturbing lack of life or resignment to depression or giving-up-and-taking-it-like-a-tolerant-angel-and-not-trying-to-get-rid-of-problems-or-do-something-fun-anymore, that voice like you just got out of bed and want to go back to bed and stay there and relax (and for them it means they're just dying to crawl back into bed and deteriorate more and rot in bed trying to sleep off what they'll never sleep off) , or whatever it is, in others' voices I feel a lot better.

Yes, I guess so.

Yes! I've always hated to hear my mother talk like that, but now my voice does it too and I can't help it! It's so frustrating. It's an effective way to inadvertently convince a lot of people to disrespect you.

It sound frail and worn down and just like s**t, sometimes you just want to whack it out of them. Old people who are physically frail I understand, if they've been through a lot in their lifetime and fought in the war and had 7 kids and worked as a construction worker for 50 years; coming from everyone else that voice sounds disgusting.
