I have a problem where people do not listen/pay attention when I talk. If I am talking, someone from the group will start talking over me and everyone will divert their attention to them. I have a hard time understanding if it is my voice or the content that people find off putting. This has been happening since I was a child and has happened in different groups so I don’t think the people are to blame here. I’m short (5 feet) and have a somewhat high frequency/shrill voice which I have tried to tame a lot 🙁
I think I’m funny enough as I do well in one on one conversations which makes me think it is my voice. Any thoughts, theories or similar experiences?
