Anyone else’s voice get super high pitched in meetings? Especially when you’re nervous? My regular voice is way deeper but for some reason it gets so much higher and to me sounds fake cheery/bubbly. I don’t know how to stop it!

Im a dolphin in meetings lol. I try to make myself calm by taking pauses in between and deep breaths. I know pauses can be awkward but it is OK to take them

This... High pitch voice is due to nervousness, so find ways to get calm

Not that exactly but I talked to someone on the phone yesterday who had a bad headset echo back and I couldn’t believe how... childish? I sounded.

Urgh, I'm following. I called to make a doctors appointment and the person on the phone asked for my mum. I'm 25 (lowkey wish my mum would make my doctors appointments for me though)

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing.

Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion

But can’t fall asleep once I’m up. I’m also tired when I wake up so it’s not like I had enough sleep. I cannot live like this for the rest of my life.
