Tone of voice.

Does anyone else find they are constantly checking their tone of voice when answering a question?
It’s something I just seem to put a lot of energy into, constantly scanning that I haven’t sounded too unhappy, uninterested or annoyed. I make sure the pitch of my voice rises and I smile.

I’m generally quite happy, I just find if I’m not constantly checking my tone that I seem to be accused of something. It gets to the point of causing anxiety, exhaustion and not wanting to talk. It’s harder to answer a question when tired.

  • I've always been in situations where I would make a joke, and other people would look at me and think I was being serious, even though I was laughing and smiling, and sometimes vice versa. 

    Other times I would be talking in a calm tone of voice, But other seem to think that I'm panicking, even though I wasn't. I was speaking normally and using a nice, clear tone of voice.
