I’d say for most of my life now, I’ve pretty much had these comments blurted at me for so long, often ones like ‘Are you angry at me?’ or ‘What’s wrong with you now?’ confuses me so much. I’m speaking in my usual tone, and most of the time, I’m not even annoyed.

I think up until my teen years, I’ve started to hide what I sound like, especially around my family, since they always jump to the conclusion that I’m upset with them when I’m truly not. Focusing on facial expression and the way my voice sounds at the same time is too much for me, and often, I can’t control them both at the same time without wanting to scream. At this point, I’m having to fake emphasising my voice just to not get judged by everyone else, and it’s honestly tiring.
