I(17F) am quite soft spoken. part of it is because my natural voice is deep and I hate seeming masculine. so, I raise the pitch and soften it up. the other part is because I'm scared to sound "too angry" or "too aggressive", especially with family.
however, I'm tired of this. I feel like people won't take me seriously. my peers already think I'm "innocent" and my voice just makes that worse. plus, it's not helpful when I'm actually mad or I need to be assertive but I sound like fucking fluttershy.
please help me out.
