Me exactly. Usually it's because of embarrassment and anger mixed together. Like tf you mean I'm "too loud", but you aren't "too loud" when you do it?
@noone-qx2kn
This is so me. The worst part is you're trying hard to hide that you're upset but it's so obvious because you suddenly shut down š
@Dontmindme-r4d
Its so hard for me to get to that level of comfortability and it's so rare when it happens it hurts when someone yells at me for it, especially when all they've ever mentioned is how quite I am usually
@potoo.9955
People could always tell you to tone down a little more nicely instead of crushing your feelings and then expecting you not to act like they didnāt just walk all over you. :(
@H1N4_N1NJ4
This is so real I physically cannot recover from getting yelled at for the rest of the day
@SUM41Y4
The end was giving "were you silent...or were you SILENCED?." šš
@The._.Household
A trauma response for me. Get told to many times to shut up when I was actually talking (as it was difficult anyways to talk) and now every time someone says anything about me talking, it affects my ability to. In high school i would go to talk to my āfriendsā and they would respond ācould you be quiet right now?ā (even if no one was talking) and I would just stop. Another āfriendā could come up not even a minute later and they would just start talking endlessly. They wouldnāt notice that I didnāt speak the rest of the day.
@theresanoelle
honestly shutting down is a quick way to let the person know they fucked up, even if most of the time they try to pretend like they don't understand why you're upset
@JewelblinkJennie
Honestly this is so relatable, like ik weāre hanging and having fun, but when I start to be goofy around and you yell at me I immediately shut down for the whole day. My mood changed and just wanna go home bc if I try to talk, Iāll lash out or say something rude
@shayneclimbs09
that's so me because of my anxiety i start overthinking and if i talk i start crying š š
@peterhendricks5173
I once had a friend and one time where I sang my heart out in the car, I apologized for it. She told me not to apologize and that she loves that I felt comfortable enough with her to be that vulnerable, that changed my perspective on friendship, I hope she is doing well.
@amelia_e753
this is so real if i donāt shut down then i get super mad or start crying š
@TaeTae-cv9xz
Wow. This is me. I remember shutting down when I realised I was essentially being ignored and talked over constantly. But itās weird because even though I wasnāt being listened to in the first place, when I shut down I wasnāt allowed to be quiet in peace either.
@Lou-u6o
And you canāt even get back into a good mood again for the rest of the day š
@Wall.Wall_Wall
One of the reasons I do this is because I feel like I genuinely can't talk. If I open my mouth and make a single sound I will break into tears. Sign language my beloved ā¤
@memonos
I feel called outšš I just canāt switch back to normal afterwards my anxiety tells me if I say one word Iāll break down so I just curl up in a shell for the rest of the day
@GreenTea0.0
I got bullied a lot as a kid for being talkative and bubbly and loud sometimes and over time it changed into severe depression and anxiety, this can seriously hurt peoples feelings, Iām glad you turned it into a funny/not funny situation because itās getting peoples attention and making them reflect on their demeanorš
@POTSZ24659
Not the robotic voice message š
@ravenvalor1470
Yelling at people who struggle to control their voice when emotions get buzzing is the fastest way to lose that person. They feel like they cannot be themselves around you. You can get their attention and tell them at the volume they're supposed to be at. Be patient, it is difficult and literally not wired into the brain like other people's. Have some grace, y'all. ā¤ļø
