How do you deal with seeing/hearing yourself recorded?

Can't stand my voice. Adds to the case that i hardly talk unless i absolutely have to. And i never post my picture online (even on Facebook) so i don't have to look at it

Most people hate hearing themselves recorded. But what I really hate is seeing myself in photos. I always seem to be standing or sitting funny, or pulling a funny face. My mum says I'm overfamiliar with myself and so I tend to put myself down but to other people I look normal like everyone else. I hope that is true.

i can get a seizure if i hear my own voice on a recording. and if i look in the mirror for too long.

When I see my self in a video I don't "recognize" that it's me. I know it is me, but it feels as if I'm watching someone else. Same with hearing my voice. I may remember saying the words, but I feel like I'm listening to someone else.

It's a weird feeling.

I don't like hearing myself. It is so awful to hear my voice or see myself. I just get that awkward, "Ew is that me? Wtf?" moment. Nothing really special.

Really bothers me. Makes me want to scream and cover my ears, haha.

Because my 'personality' is essentially just a compiled reflection of everything that happens to go on around me, seeing myself in a mirror or in a photograph or hearing a voice recording of myself is very unsettling to me. Ever held a mirror up to a mirror? What appears on them? Confusion appears on them.

I HATE it. I was born premature and had a lot of tubes shoved down my throat when I was young, which resulted in a larynx covered in scar tissue, so it doesn't resonate the way it should and my voice sounds weak and raspy, like I've got laryngitis all the time. I'm so self-conscious about the way my voice sounds that when I had to do oral exams in high school for French class in front of a camera I had panic attacks. I like singing, but only for myself, I refuse to sing for an audience, in spite of all my friends and family saying I can sing well. Overall, the spotlight is not my friend, cameras especially.

It sounds deeper recorded than when I hear it speaking it not recorded.

I don't have an ASD but I used to get that too because of piss poor self esteem.

I have a fairly high pitched voice and hate hearing recordings of it. As a teenager I was in a class that was video taped. On seeing the video it came as a shock to see how differently I behaved to everyone else. After that I started consciously trying to behave like everyone else.

I dislike that I am nasally and whiny sounding without even realizing it. When I listen to myself recorded, I think, oh my God do I really sound that whiny? I have no idea why I do. So then I practice on further recordings not being whiny but every time I play one back, it's still whiny sounding. It's so frustrating and annoying!

I don't enjoy listening to myself a huge amount.
Unfortunately when you make video tutorials it becomes somewhat of a .

I was recording something on minecraft once, my screen recorder kept screwing up.
In the end I recorded and listened to it 7 times.
I managed to dislike something about it or how I said something every single time too
