Other people's voices

This isn't listening to other people or hearing voices.

This is a thing that bugs me a lot.
After hearing a person talking for awhile ,my inner self voice picks up that person's voice .
It could even be a stranger.

Then I'm stuck with that inner voice for quite a while and hard to shake it off.
I end up thinking ...what the hell do i even sound like.

It's like meeting these people is over writing myself .

Takes a while to get back to the voice of myself.

It can get to a stage of thinking
..don't listen to these people....
it can be even people that I don't like.

I'm very awear of my internal voice and I hate that it's hi jacked so easily .

What do you think .
Common ?
 
Hi Alan

I have this in a minor way and at first it amuses me, because I do not like being me and thus, any difference tends to be welcomed, but after a bit, it does get annoying lol
 
This happens to me, too. I think that it is usual/common and I don't think it's related to ASD.
 
This doesn't happen to me, if I try I can have some different voices, but not whatever I choose. They don't persist.

Maybe it is common, but my first thought was that you might be really good at doing impressions, that it's potentially a gift of sorts.
 
My mental voice never changes.
I can have a memory of how the person sounded, but, it doesn't effect my thought sound.
 
Memory of how someone sounds , I didn't quite think of it in that way .

It becomes really annoying.
It's like terminator 2 when the silver t1000 is melting and it's jumping forms.

It's worse right now because I've been dragged into other people's lives that wipes out my own .
It's like I'm losing myself identify by fixing everyone else's life's.

People are a huge stress for me.
Wish I could somehow get through life without people.

I get sick of people trying to help by saying your just not used to it.
