Why do we hate our own voices while others don't even mind.

Let's say you like any burger more than any pizza. If I offered to buy a burger for you but it turned out to be a pizza, would that be somewhat disappointing? The same thing is going on here. You have a higher expectation of how your voice sounds, because you can hear it better. That is why it is disappointing when you hear how others hear your voice. On the other hand, other people never get to hear your bone conducted voice, so they don't expect to hear better than what they are hearing. Thus, they do not mind.

That's how everyone feels about their own voices because of what we're used to hearing when we speak. However, to everyone else, you sound perfectly normal.

I think my voice sounds weird
I'm a singer so I've gotten used to hearing my voice over and over again. After awhile you just get used to it. But I still kinda hate it when I talk and I go 'wow do I really sound like this..?'
I speak like I have a deep voice but when i hear it through a recording i sound like an innocent girl with a cracking voice. (Im a girl) I always feel like my voice doesnt fit my face and i get anxiety from it omg help

How is this channel so tiny?! I can't believe this! Every now and then you release great content, which is relevant to nearly everybody. It's entertaining, straight to the point and interesting. You guys need to somehow collaborate with some bigger channels a few times and eventually you'll build up a bigger audience. Keep up the good work!

Amazing thank you so much
I actually always thought that I was squeaky and was really self-conscious of it up until about 16 where I was told that I have a very deep voice and in some cases I sounded black. The reason why I heard my voice like this though was probably because I always despised my extremely squeaky voice before I hit puberty, which I hit pretty hard.
Thanks, that was a great explanation
But the thing is how to stop hating it , i want to sing.. and i want to like my voice when i hear it in a record whats the solution...

Tried recording my voice one time ^^ got embarrassed on how deep my voice was when I listened to it x-x
This was a great lil video that was both entertaining and thought provoking... but why did it feel so much longer than 2 minutes???
My voice is really deep in my head and I recently found out I sound like a mouse
Its the otherwise for me. I have a bass voice, whenever I talk irl I feel my voice is quite high, but in a recording, it's damn low
I like the video even tho it doesn't answer the question "why do you hate the sound of your own voice" but it explains WHY do you hear it different but ok.....
“But to everyone else, this is what I really sound like” *sounds the same but less muffled*
😅love this
"That's why I resort to texting" 😂😂😂
Yeah it is a problem as I'm going into videos with commentary and I often don't enjoy editing or uploading them and I can get despired

literally always hated my voice lol my cousin was on facetime with her friend & he was like ‘why is her voice so deep’ lol i felt like dying
I feel my voice just sounds so stupid whenever I listen to my recordings.
People in the video are saying that they hear their voice deeper but I hear it more high pitched
It’s even worse for me. I hate my voice, And so do the people around me😭
I hate my voice because to me it sounds well balanced,not too deep not too high pitched and my friends always say i sound so cute and i have a high pitched voice.I hate it because i’m 14,a girl and i just to me high pitched voices are quite annoying...man i don’t even look like i’m 14

but how are your voices still really nice and my voice is like a 7 yo voice when i thought its really deep and gives me charisma I Am Really Disappointed and now i know why they tell me my voice sucks although i find it really cool
my voice in a video with a camera sounds spontaneous as ive been on camera before lucky this is not me
I had to send a video of me saying happy birthday to my friend and it took me 8 takes because I thought I sounded like and idiot

De ce ti se pare ciudata vocea ta cand te auzi pe o inregistrare ??! Vocea ta sună într-un fel pentru tine și în alt fel pentru restul lumii, de aceea ți s-a părut ciudată când ți-ai auzit-o pentru prima dată pe o înregistrare. Pe scurt, explicația este următoarea: ne auzim propriile voci cu urechea internă, urechea medie și cu urechea externă, iar dezorientarea vine atunci când ne auzim vocea doar cu cea externă. În urechea medie se află trei oscioare ciocănaș, nicovală, scăriță (îți amintești de la biologie?) și este delimitată spre exterior de membrana timpanică. Vibrațiile membranei timpanice se transmit mai întâi la ciocănaș, apoi la nicovală și scăriță, iar de acolo la fereastra ovală, situată la limita dintre urechea medie și cea internă. Sunetul care ajunge în urechea internă este transmis prin intermediul oaselor craniului, ceea ce te face să crezi că vocea ta este mai joasă decât a altor oameni. Unii dintre noi nu suportăm să ne auzim vocea pe o înregistrare în primul rând pentru că ni se pare prea străină și în al doilea rând pentru că refuzăm să o asociem cu noi înșine. E clar că din această categorie nu fac parte... cântăreții. Dar nu-i nimic. Partea bună e că numai tu știi cum sună vocea ta pentru tine :)

next question, why do I hate myself?
Damn, no wonder my soundcloud career hasn't taken off yet, I sound like shit
Wtf so im not the only one i guess
I just got told I have a terrible voice on my vids so much its unwatchable so since I have anxiety over it so much I just searched up about it now im thinking my head bones are broken? Maybe it's ADHD
I like your voice, but I hate mine.
Appropriate title: Why you hear your voice differently than others.
Me recording myself speaking* *EWWW* Me on a discord call with someone for the first time* Him: your voice is cute Me: what I sound horrible-
My voice sounds so whiny, shrill and nasally, hate it. Wonder if radio people like their voices
Cup your hands around your ears and you will hear your own voice differently.
Then how the all bigger singer hear their sound?? Reply!!
It's not that my voice is higher then when I speak, it's that j sound like completely different person on recordings
Why? Oh, because I’m a male teenager and still sound like a four year old girl mixed with a choking hamster
For people, if you are afraid of people making fun of your voice if you make youtube videos, Try using a text to speech software instead
I don't particularly like my own voice but I don't dislike it .tbh I don't rlly care
I thought the music in the background was the Mii Theme
I kinda hate my own voice cuz it sounded pretty girly (girly but deep? idk somewhere between Kelly Rowland and keyshia cole voices lol) and i'm a dude. I'm approaching my 20 in 3 months time and i don't really wanna stuck with this kinda voice for another 10 years or so. I don't mind it to sound demonic but ughh (and some people i'm faking it wtf)
I'm otherwise, I like how my voice sounds when is recorded
Bruh I know my voice is deep cause people always tell me but when I hear it on camera I sound like Darth Vader I hate it

I dont hate my voice but hate a bit. ...cause it sounds like a kid..but its kinda cool
No one minds my voice but I feel bad I mind about my own voice
I hate hearing my own voice because it sounds stupid and I hate seeing pictures or video of myself because I look stupid.
I saw and heard myself on a video once. Ohhhh, I found out I act spazzy, with quirky little gestures and my voice sounds YAH YAH YAH like an annoying YAH
I hate recording my voice and i also hate singing on karaoke cuz i think my voice was not good
