Does anyone else literally hate talking?
I used to always be a people person and loved to talk to people. But I got Covid twice and it somehow damaged my vocal cords and I really should go to a speech therapist but don't have time and can't afford it. My voice is now very deep, hoarse, and very shaky. I sound like a 95 year old man and I'm actually a 59 year old woman.
I'm very self conscious about my voice now and it's hard because I work customer service and people always comment on what's wrong with my voice. I've quit talking unless I have to. I would much rather text!
I have a very irritating "friend " who does not listen to me when I tell him that I don't like talking on the phone. He's not really even a friend, but an ex coworker who wanted my phone number. I shouldn't have given it to him but I did and he calls me every single day. It doesn't matter if I explain to him how much I hate talking and would rather text- he calls anyway. I would block him but I am afraid he would get angry and start problems with my job. He's not working there anymore but he's close to the store director and I am not. I'm afraid if he gets angry at me for not wanting to talk on the phone when he calls, he would go to the director and tell lies to try to get me fired. He's that type.
Either way, just wanted to vent about how much I hate my voice and how it's affected friendships, work, and life in general.
