Any tips?
>>34532293>Any tips?try not to overthink itperhaps you could describe more what the fear is like, give some examples of how it's caused problems, etc.it might be easier to give good advice
>>34532302It feels exposing, I feel like people are listening in, and I feel like I don't speak very clearly or my voice is strange.
>>34532293Think about why you're nervous. Practice. Try Whisperly or something
>>34532314>I feel like people are listening inNo different from talking irl.>I feel like I don't speak very clearly or my voice is strangePractice makes perfect.
>>34532293Unironically do it more. Working on a helpdesk fixed this for me in about six months. One day you realise the caller doesn't give a single fuck about you and they just want their shit fixed, and all the anxiety drops away and speaking becomes infinitely easier. If anything I'm probably less autistic on the phone than in person because I don't have to impersonate normie facial expressions.
>>34532350who can I call?
>>34532293You might as well talk right into them because lazer and wifi surveillance is already picking up your thoughts by muscle twitches in your jaw due to the speech center in your brain triggering it.
>>34534785It's not about surveillance fears. I specifically am afraid of talking on microphones, for entirely personal and subjective reasons.
>>34532293>Any tips?Hop on Discord with me, and talk to me. Just kidding, it doesn't need to be me, you can do it with anyone at any Discord server.
>>34535345doesn't seem appropriate to just start talking to randos.
>>34535468>doesn't seem appropriate to just start talking to randos.Why though? I do it all the time, but I think it's bcs I was part of a big language learning community so you're kinda of expected to talk to randos.If you want to talk to me through Discord I'm up for it, I just hope you don't try anything funny.
>>34535483i feel weird doing it with people in the house.
>>34535490>i feel weird doing it with people in the house.Don't you have your own room? I also feel weird, unless I'm at the office or in my room. It's normal, you just have to get used to do it in a specific place, then you will feel comfortable.
>>34535490>i feel weird doing it with people in the houseWait, reading this out of context is very funny.
>>34535523I just feel like people can hear.
>>34535565>I just feel like people can hear.Don't worry about that, fren. Your family won't care, just use headphones.
