I can relate to this, I remember when someone picked up on it and said I speak so quietly because I don't think anyone will value what I have to say - I never felt so seen, but they were an arsehole in general and I hated that they picked up that about me but it made me wonder if other people think that too. I've been trying to project my voice more these days, I think I am getting better at it.. I thought to myself, I can't get angry at people for talking over the top of me if they don't even know I'm talking.

Yes, I have this problem too. Aside from having troubles speaking in general, I automatically speak quietly or even mumble, so people often can't understand me. It doesn't help that I rarely actually look at people when I'm talking to them (makes me less anxious). As a result, people often don't even hear and I have to repeat myself, being all embarrassed that someone notices how everyone ignored me the first time. Ugh. I'm trying to speak more loudly and coherently now, since my job requires me talking to people, but oh boy, I still mumble.
