What does the fear of being judged by others hold you back from doing that you would otherwise do? (sopuli.xyz)

To be fair I still do these things but only when I'm alone.

Personally I love finding big puddles and then dig drains with a stick or my heel and watch the water flow.

Also love to throw a piece of wood into water and then toss stones high up in the air and try hit it imagining it's a warship I'm trying to bomb.

Then also without going into details there are some pieces of clothing I would like to wear but don't because they're considered femine or gay.

Somehow, I was only able to do it after my voice dropped. No idea how that works

I envy you

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I envy you, for the girl voice

Ha, it just takes practice. You'll get it

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I shouldn't complain since I never really tried. So yeah, practice, I guess. Apparently, you need to keep your larynx up high?

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The best way I can describe it is by using the back of your tongue to compress the beck of your throat. Kind of like just before you cough. Holding it in that position is how I do the girl voice

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, now I just need everyone at home to leave, so I can try it in peace

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do it while driving by yourself. That's the best time to practice

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good point. Being alone in the car doesn't happen very often though.

Ah, what the hell, doesn't matter. If I do a Stitch voice and a turkey impression in front of everyone, I should be able to do that too.

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's just takes practice, you'll get there. I'm sure of it

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I hope so
