To give context, a peer of mine told me that the way I spoke or type felt like a discord mod. This made me feel a little uneasy because it is difficult to "not care" about how others thought about me, especially when it is about my speech.
To explain, I speak like this because I feel like I'm able to express myself clearly. Perhaps it is because it enables me to become more confident in my vocabulary and voice as throughout my whole life I've always been surrounded by people who spoke a different language and whenever I tried any form of verbal communication, they'd say rude or dismissive things in response to my attempts.
So over the course of my life I've tried to speak the native language but it always came out in a terrible form of grammar and an overwhelmingly foreign accent.
However, just recently, I've decided to embrace my knowledge of the English lexicon and started writing stories belonging to my imagination. Eventually I started speaking the same way I wrote, formal and as others described, "fancy."
Now of course it did some with some downsides, the way I speak English is far more monotone or indifferent. Paired with my deeper voice it may make me less approachable.
I'd like to set a few examples of the way I text or speak:
"Have a splendid morning >insert name<!"
"It is rather unpleasant in my area. Thunder constantly roars but as long as power remains, I think I am content."
"Would love to, unfortunately that would mean the resumption of school. And I’d rather a little rain than 8 hours of tiresome labor."
"You and me both have had uneventful days. I guess the only thing worth talking about in my day is my learning of manual transmission driving (if that is the correct way to say it.)"
"Also, I’m glad it’s going well for you. The feeling of a friend having a good day is unmatched."
"Oddly enough, a wave of nostalgia always washes over when I revisit this chat. Oh and also, I miss you too."
"Quite the timeline! As for me, I still struggle to reinvigorate interest in this game, but my interest for stories in general has risen. Pray tell, do you plan to upload your artworks in online platforms?"
This is a form of self-assessment I'd say and maybe I'd like to revise the way I speak going forward in the future.
