Speaking Loudly When Feeling A Lot of Emotion.

Post Reply New Topic

Please tell me if this doesn't make sense.

My voice is normally quiet, but I sound like I'm speaking at a normal level in my head (when I say in my head, I mean that's what I hear) (I'm not all that sensitive to noise).

The stronger the emotions I'm feeling at that moment in time, whether it be happiness, shock ect, the louder my voice is(it's got to the point where I'm being so loud that I scare people). Only I still sound normal in my head, so I don't know when I'm doing it.


I spent a few months in an Aspergers school, and there were at-least a few other people who seemed to do this.

Can anyone here relate?
Anyone have any tips on how to stop this, or at-least be-able to tell when I'm being loud? I'm not all that good at recognizing my own emotions.

Yep,

When I'm talking normal my wife is always saying "Speak up your voice is too deep and I can't make out what you are saying."

But get me riled up and she will say "Why are you yelling?"

I randomly speak way too loudly, anyway, but I always do it when I'm excited about something. My mom had to get on to me the entire time I was growing up, and my husband has to on a regular basis now. The thing is I am pretty sensitive to noise, but I still cannot tell when I'm being too loud. My 5 year old daughter does the same thing, and I can tell when she is being excessively loud; however, I cannot tell when I'm the one doing it.

Yes I speak too loudly when I'm excited or angry about something. When I'm talking about something and I get really excited about the topic I get really loud and people shush me which sucks because that's the time I least like to be shushed (when I'm really excited and want to talk).

I do this I normally speak loud but when I get upset or angry I can get louder.
I do try to speak quietly when i'm out like in shopping centres as I don't want people looking at me.

I used to be like that, speaking too loudly w/o realizing it (or too softly), but that has 90% dissipated now. The other 10% is only when I'm upset about something, and not just anything.

I'm accused of yelling all the time excited or I feel there is a sense of urgency but I don't feel that I'm yelling. I'm aware that people perceive it as yelling but I just don't perceive that I'm being too loud until someone points it out. My father is the same way. I do notice when he does it because I find the sound level very irritating.

I thought everyone spoke louder when they were feeling strong emotions. I don't know anyone who doesn't.

Yes, I do that too! I also use my hands a lot more - I wave them around for emphasis, not that anyone understands what I'm trying to communicate with them.

I am The same. I am constantly told to speak loudly but get me onto a subject I like and my voice is loud and if I'm excited I have a laugh that literally shocks people it's so confronting

Yep, people tell me it, but I can't gage it without them doing it, so I've kind of stopped caring.

If I can't tell that I'm getting too loud, what the hell can I do, seriously?

Note: I was last told I did this two days ago.

I am also like this..my normal voice is very soft..but if i get upset although i think that i am not shouting..my voice get's louder.well so i'm told

Common Reply for me: Why are you screaming?

But... but... screaming is a different tone of voice. I'm just speaking loudly!
