What Your Voice Really Sounds Like

It’s different, right? But why?

Here’s how your voice sounds in your head when you say something out loud:

“Brilliant! Genius! Smart smart smart! So important! No one would fail to be convinced by what I’m saying!”

Here’s how your voice sounds to other people when you say something out loud:

“Listen to how brilliant I am! I think I’m such a genius! Have I ever told you that I’m smart smart smart? You can really tell that I am sure I’m so important! Even though it’s pretty clear my opinions are no better than anyone else’s I am somehow under the impression that no one would fail to be convinced by what I’m saying!”

Why is that? Fuck if I know. Maybe this will help.
