I was hanging with my friends on a Discord call and they thought it'd be funny to hop on Omegle, to insult or talk to random people. One of my friends plugged in OBS so that he could stream the call on Omegle, since everybody had their camera on. Except me.
At first we weren't sure if our mics were picking up, so I asked a random guy, "Hey, can you hear me?", to which he replied, "You sound gay.", much to the amusement of my friends. I didn't think much of it, but then we got a random foid next, and I said something to her, can't remember what; it wasn't an insult or anything of the like, but she asked "Why do you sound like that?" in response. This one stung a bit.
I've always been insecure about my voice. I don't have an accent at all, and it's not cartoonishly high-pitched, but I do believe I sound like a kid, and people have told me this in the past too. I'm 19 years old and all of my peers have normal voices. When I tell friends about this they just say I have a "normal voice", and though I never really believe them, it would've been nice that they were honest and said my voice is horrible so that I wouldn't linger on shit like this when a stranger inevitably delivers an unbiased judgement: that my voice is such that they cannot help themselves but ask, perplexed, "what the fuck am I hearing?".
TLDR: Unbiased normie, in response to hearing my voice, asks, "Why do you sound like that?". It's over.
