Frustrated at being misunderstood/misheard

Post Reply New Topic

I am very often frustrated when someone doesn't understand what I say because I talk a bit muddled, too quiet or too fast. I dislike having to repeat myself. Anyone else feel this way?

yeah all the time

I feel that way, too.

There are plenty of times when I misunderstand people and get them into awkward situations, though, so it balances out.

I hate repeating myself, but I do it less than I used to because I was much more quiet previously, though I am still somewhat quiet now, when speaking.

Yes, I get angry at having to repeat what I said even though it's my fault since I talk so quietly most times.

All the time. But the worst part is when I try to say something and have trouble getting the words out. Before I can say what I mean, someone interrupts and ignores me, acting as if I didn't even attempt to speak.

They ignore my words as if I was someone having a psychotic episode speaking incoherently. It gets on my last nerve that my words don't mean anything to people just because I sometimes can't get them out quickly.

I repeat myself, but then enunciate in an almost comically concise way. It's all or nothing I guess.
