Even when I think I am whispering everyone around me can hear the secret. Along with my very loud voice is an even louder laugh. When I hear something funny I just can't restrain myself and just belt one out.
I am that obnoxious person in the room that is disturbing your nice quiet meal in a restaurant. I am the one in the back of you laughing loudly at the movies, the one that you want to throw your $5.00 super sized Pepsi at. In addition to my talking and laughing loudly I am an emotional loud crier. So in the same movie if a scene goes from funny to sad you will hear me sobbing.
It's not like I want to be disrespectful to others. Honestly I do try. I start out with a lower tone but as the conversation continues or something funny is said, before I know it's happening, my voice escalates and out the loudness comes. I have been yelling, screaming, laughing and crying loudly for so long I am not sure how to keep it down notch or even ten.
So what I have learned is to be more tolerate of others since others have to put up with my big loud non-quiet mouth.

Oh, Mary Ann, my son is exactly like you. I shall have to learn to be more tolerant of him. He's a singer and he really doesn't know how to keep his voice down. I think that all of his 29 years have been spent with my asking/telling him to be quiet at some stage or other.

I am the only one in my family that is quiet. I have learned they cannot be shushed so I gave up a very long time ago. At least I can always find them in a crowd. It's who they are. I understand.
ReplyDeleteI am very quiet, and really, so is my husband. However, when he speaks, his voice really carries. He is often asked if he does radio or voice overs. Nope, but I guess he could have gone into that field pretty easily.
