Anyone else talks so little when they do talk throat is hurt

Post Reply New Topic

This is just a bizarre, although logical phenomenon. I haven't said a single word vocally for the last two weeks, now after conversing for a couple of hours I'm left with a hoarse throat, as if I've been shouting. Would it be better if I never speak at all?

If you did not talk that would be better for your throat

If you did not talk, that would be less functional

There is something wrong with everything

Anyways yeah yes I live alone and no job. Only one precious lil "friend" and she has been overlooking me three weeks and I am toying with the prospect of dumping that stupid ass b***h


So I don't talk a lot


It's not like I have friends, family, work in customer service




My voice sounds weird enough and quickly getting worse s**t

I often talk to myself when I'm alone as long as I don't think anybody can hear me, which probably keeps my voice from getting too rusty. I've had to stay silent in company for long enough to make it difficult for me to speak when I do get the chance, but it's nothing worse than my throat not being quite clear, and as long as I'm given enough time then all I have to do is cough and I can talk fairly normally again. Naturally I try to avoid situations where I don't feel able to talk but people are around. They're usually situations where I'm expected to be some kind of underdog in a hierarchy, which are situations best avoided anyway if you ask me. Best remedy for the problem, apart from getting into a place where you can talk to yourself without embarrassment, might be to sing. It's more socially acceptable than talking to yourself, and you can play records to sing along to which would drown your voice out and make it less embarrassing.

I don't speak all that much (compared to most people), at least not continuously. It's not all that odd for my throat to be kind of sore after talking a lot in a therapy session. I've actually straight up lost my voice after a stint of talking.

Usually swallowing a little coconut oil takes the soreness out for me. Otherwise I just have to be silent to give my throat/cords time to rest.

Never talking isn't all that practical for me, I can't say for your life. You'd have to make that call of what works best for you.

I find it really hard to speak loudly. I get a sore throat easily. It's probably due to my technique.

I remember being at work and I had laryngitis. I felt fine but for no voice. I made it plain to someone by gesturing that I had no voice and he said, "How did you get laryngitis? You hardly ever talk anyway!"
