Do you react to tone of voice?

Post Reply New Topic

Okay I get extremely upset and will meltdown if your tone of voice seems, sounds, or i assume it is too loud, angry like, stern, too mean, and if you change your tone of voice to something softer like when you talk to a young child i get extremely happy and will flap for hours on end hahah. The other day i went psycho on my brother because he raised his voice, and literally ran after him in force, and all of a sudden he changed it to calmer and softer and said things nicer, and i just turned out and spun giggling, yes weird aint it lol. Anybody else react to tone of voice?

Being Normal Is Vastly Overrated

I always say 'you don't have to yell' even when a person is just raising their voice. I can't take it.

My mum does this thing when she getting angry she'll speak a little softer than her normal tone of voice but slower, and she's got a mad fire in her eyes that means if I don't obey her she'll break at any moment. Ohh, I feel like I've woken a sleeping dragon when she does that.

I had always hated being yelled at as long as I can remember. In my teens, I thought people were mad at me when they weren't because they had their voices raised. To me, an angry voice meant they were mad and a happy voice meant they weren't mad.

I don't react well to yelling, rudeness or anger. I do pick up on tone of voice...
The problem is... other people do that with me, and I generally don't have control over my tone of voice, and sometimes don't even have control over the volume, either. I'm often getting yelled at for "having an attitude".

I HATED being yelled at and I still do. This is why I ONLY yell at my kids IF IF IF there is a good reason for it and both of my kids cower when they are yelled at.. I hate doing it but there are some moments that it is needed! Otherwise I never raise my voice but I am firm.

Yeah. This morning my girlfriend was really mad because she couldn't find her keys and let out a loud expletive which in turn caused me to stomp out of the room in a rage in a fraction of a second.

To mother "Please stop yelling??! !" "That's not yelling... THIS IS YELLING!!"
Since explaining why this would make me leave the room or plug my ears, she has stopped.
Singing gets the best response. Feel a jolt of motivation when she sings the household chroe requests, which she does ALL the time, can get a little excruciating when every sentence you say has a song though...
"Can't feed the chickens just now, its too cold outside..." "BABY it's cold outsiiidde," not a baby, just i'll freeze up... "Frosty the snowmannnn, is a very happy..." OH MOTHER :roll: :D

Can't tell, most of the time... I usually jump for joy, make noises, or run if my cats talk to me, though. I also do that if my chinchilla nibbles me.

Ohhh yeah! All the time! I get so freakin mad when people use those kinds of tones with me.

yeah...I get the yellin' thing from the Missus. I hear tones, I just misinterpret them. Usually think people are a lot madder than they are...

I used to say, "Don't look at me so loud!" because in fleeting glimpses I could see that angry stare and I knew (after trial and error) that that meant angry. It scared me. Raised voices scare me still and I frequently accuse my husband of yelling when he isn't.

If someone raises their voice I raise mine, and most the time they start yelling because they think I am trying to be aggressive but when they yell I do get aggressive and general lose my voice for a day or so from yelling much louder and longer.

If someone speaks to me in a loud, angry voice, I react immediately and it makes me Angry. I can go psycho if this person continues and insults me.
I really can't help it.
