i also think it's strange how much our idea of how we come off can be different from what other people see. even when it comes to something so simple as the way our voice sounds. whenever we hear a recording of our own voice, it sounds so foreign. the only reason i know that i'm soft spoken is because others have told me so, and even in loud places when i feel like i'm shouting, i can see everyone leaning in to hear me.
i was talking to my mom about this the other day and she said something about how she's soft spoken too. i almost choked on whatever i was eating/drinking, because in no way would i describe my mom's voice as soft spoken or quiet. i think she has a very loud voice. no matter where she is in the house i can always hear her.
i think that's funny how we get our perspectives switched around.
