Does anyone else question if the way you hear yourself is the same way everyone else hears you? Today I had to make a very important phone call. I was on hold for 45 minutes. I was finally connected to someone. But the whole conversation was very odd. It was like I heard myself saying one thing but her replies did not match up with what I was asking her. She was being nice and sincere. I heard myself and it was clear but it was like she did not hear me the same way I heard myself. I never feel self-confident when it comes to my speech. I always question if people really understand me. This has happened so often in my life I'm just very flustered.
