Does Anybody hate the sound of their own voice being played back to them?

This follows on from the thread about looking in your own eyes or those of others.....and that thread also strayed into talk of photos of yourself too.

Personally, I absolutely hate to hear a playback of myself talking.  I sound like a man with a "punchable face" if you know what I mean.

It doesn't ever sound like me.....more like the ass-hat version of me (ie pointless and ridiculous and has no use or purpose.)

I wonder if this is plain old-fashioned self-loathing or whether there is something deeper going on.

I have a recording of myself aged 8 years old......and I sound MUCH nicer then !

Does anyone have firm thoughts on this subject?

  • Simply put, no I do not! I feel very uncomfortable when I have to actually. Because we sound so different on recordings, it’s like listening to someone you’ve never spoken to before whilst knowing everything about them. I think I can also hear the discomfort of social interaction in my voice too, where as others won’t pick up on that.

    I meant, no I do not like the sound of my voice, not no I do not hate the sound of my own voice.

    Im getting this more jumbled in trying to unjumble it. Simply put, I hate the sound of my own voice on recordings.


    The rest of my comment makes sense then. I think…

    If you’ve worked out what I’m trying to say, you deserve a medal. Communication, tick.
