Why is it that we detest our own voice when we play it back on a tape recorder?
I have this stupid tendency of recording myself on a video camera or on my iPhone's audio recording app. Which then leads me to cringe at my own voice and the way I speak. I berate myself for my stupid voice and it sounds so much different in my head then it really is. I do have an accent since i'm a trilingual and every time I hear myself on a tape recorder it makes me want to hurl. This has caused me a tremendous anxiety. My first language is Ukrainian and I had learned Russian while growing up in America. I'm sure my accent nor my voice isn't as bad as I portray it to be. Do girls like a guy with an accent?
Do you despise the sound of your own voice?
Similar to taking pictures of one self, people will detest how they look in pictures versus how they expected themselves to look in the mirror.
I do hate the way I sound too on recorder, but that's because I'm use to hearing my own voice.
Actually I don't, and neither should you.
You seem to be worried about girls. The simple answer to your question is "Some girls like accents, some don't, but most don't even notice, or simply don't care".
(1) The recorder lets you hear your voice as others hear it. When we hear our own voice normally, the sound is distorted because our ears are physically part of our head which is producing the sound.
(2) Your English needs improving:
I have this stupid habit… It sounds so different in my head from how it really is. I'm sure that neither my accent nor my voice is as bad as I feel it to be.
(3) We all have an accent! You should ask whether girls like a guy with a FOREIGN accent.

- My officemate probably recorder our conversation. What should I do? We went out after shift and shared our thoughts about our boss. Mostly negative. All four of us have said bad things about our boss. I noticed that one of my officemate picked up his iPhone. He then made a tight grasp on it and I saw that the screen is lighted up. First thing that came to my mind was that he's probably recording our conversation all along. Am I being diusional or should I be worried?
