Do you ever listen to yourself talk?

[Deja Q]

I can't. Heck, I can't even think of what to say until after I've said it! :P

1. Extroverts and Introverts.... clearly you're an extrovert.

Extroverts are energized by people, and wilt or fade when alone. They often seem bored by themselves, in both senses of the expression. Leave an extrovert alone for two minutes and he will reach for his cell phone. In contrast, after an hour or two of being socially "on," we introverts need to turn off and recharge. My own formula is roughly two hours alone for every hour of socializing. This isn't antisocial. It isn't a sign of depression. It does not call for medication. For introverts, to be alone with our thoughts is as restorative as sleeping, as nourishing as eating. Our motto: "I'm okay, you're okayÑin small doses."

Extroverts have little or no grasp of introversion. They assume that company, especially their own, is always welcome. They cannot imagine why someone would need to be alone; indeed, they often take umbrage at the suggestion. As often as I have tried to explain the matter to extroverts, I have never sensed that any of them really understood. They listen for a moment and then go back to barking and yipping.

We (introverts) tend to think before talking, whereas extroverts tend to think by talking, which is why their meetings never last less than six hours.

4. In real life, I'm a terminal introvert who is actually almost respectable!

But behind the computer screen, I let it all hang out!

But I appreciate the sentiment, thanks! :D

2. I find that my voice is much deeper than it sounds to me

and I'm a very monotone speaker, but chicks seem to dig it :shrug:

[HEyHEY]

3. oh yeah

When I started radio...I couldn't believe it, now I am comfortable...but know what was cool. When I lived in Quebec and spoke french, sometimes when I was drunk and speaking french I would hear english and it wouldn't register, so I got to hear what english souds like to a person who can't speak it.

6. no.

can't take the recorded sound of my own voice. Gives me existential heebie-jeebies.

7. I have never liked the sound of my voice

It is surprisingly deeper than I expect but also more nasal. I have been told I sound like Jeff Goldblum, which makes me cringe to think about.
