On being called “fake”.

Have you ever been called fake despite the words coming outta your mouth?

EMOTIONAL PRODSY is the nonlinguistic speech that communicate emotional information to a listner.

I would often be accused of being sarcastic , snooty, fake and weird .

It was always hurtful.

I was being myself.

I couldn’t understand what it was that *I* did wrong.

*******

I was being judged for the *non linguistic * cues from my voice.

I thought I was conveying one thing, they would HEAR something else.

(Real talk… it’s exhausting being misunderstood . Having what I’m saying being judged as fake conjures up much anxiety. I’ve restructured social interaction BECAUSE of this. People can’t misinterpreted a “tone” in a picture vs my voice…get me?)
