No we mind. We've tried to tell you to speak quieter. You do it for a bit and then revert back. Now we only say something when it's significantly out of control. But don't think for a minute that it's not grating.

Really? Have you tried? Why do you do it?


I could help it but I'd have to make a concerted effort for every word I said. It's like me telling you have to whisper all day long. Sure, you could do it, but not only would it be a pain in the ass to keep trying, inevitably you would slip back into your normal speech pattern at some point.

I don't "do it" on purpose. It's just who I am.

It's not rocket science. Why are some people so timid and nasal? Because they were taught they are of no consequence?

See how stupid your question is, OP? Probably not. LOL.

Some people don't realize they are loud. It is how they talk, and the people that know them and love them don't mind, so you don't matter. Are we clear now, OP?

Sounds trite, but remember that people are fighting battles you will never know or comprehend. This little 6 year old amazing guy is one of them.



OP here. I'm not really talking about children here. I know they're loud. You don't have to defend your son. I'm talking about (as some people on DCUM like to say) "grown ass adults."

I've noticed two types:

1) A lot of loud talkers need attention. They want others to notice.
2) Angry women.

They must know. I know that as a parent I am constantly telling my child to speak quieter, that there's not need to be so loud. Children become adults so they must have heard it at some point that they're too loud.

My father is profoundly deaf. If he can't hear what you're saying, he oddly assumes you're whispering about him and gets huffy. So we basically yell all of our conversations. I'm sure it bleeds over to my everyday life.

I wonder if they know they are? It's grating at best. Super annoying.

If you're loud and realize it, have you tried to modulate your voice?
