I have never smoked Marijuana or had/have a drinking problem. My sleeping habits have improved since the time I made this.

Whenever I speak I think people think I'm an idiot inside.

There's definately a correlation. I think tone of voice is a confidence thing, we don't like to speak loudly, we're shy, and over time we learn to talk with this monotonous, low sound.

I'm not as bad as I used to be but definately I still have that problem. I never went to a therapist about it, but I often 'practice' conversations myself, try different tones of voice and try to sound more confident. It doesn't feel natural at first but over time it becomes easier and more natural.

He's fucking trying. +10. Keep trying, you'll get there. It's always hard. Even the most cool guy gets speechless from time to time. Why the hell you wouldn't? just keep doing what you're doing. You're great.

You seem like a cool guy. Keep working on your anxieties and you'll come out the other side shining.

I would say that the way you speak (body language, eye movement, head swinging back and forth) is creating an "anxious" mood to the listeners. If you just try to look into the camera (what I do is look right into the area between a person's eyes and upper nose), and pay attention to your head movement, then your speech will become less distraction. Then, you can work on speaking with your mouth "open wider". You tend to numble.. look down, left and right.. it's distracting.

yea i do that O_O and feel afraid when im lookin at people cant hold eye contact. talking is very difficult sometimes, with sa its the fear of judgement. its like trying to talk underwater lol... difficult.

its probably not the speech therapy thing but confdence that changes ur voice.

[TdrdenCO11]

holy shit I totally widen my eyes when talking to people. I think its just that I want to look engaged or something but it really just hints at how aware I am of how im being perceived. Im so bored of being anxious

[Falcons8455]

I think it is social anxiety. I suffer from it as well.
