I'm a loud talker.
I just talk louder than is appropriate in some circumstances. It's something I've always had a hard time with. I'm also deaf in my left ear, and have reduced hearing in the other. That is part of why I suppose.
Maybe some of these people just can't assess a social situation very well, or their emotions get the better of them, or they actually can't hear well. All three apply to me. So I look more obnoxious than I actually am.
I know I annoy people with it, and it has created some pretty red faced moments for me in a class room setting especially.
Sometimes there may be more to it than you might think than sheer look-at-me-belligerence.
Just a thought.
