There is definitely a difference between how we sound to ourselves, and how other people hear us. Maybe she really hears herself sounding terrible, even though you hear something different. o.o; That, or she could be insecure and looking for a little support. XD

I think it has something to do with the reverberation in our ears that causes use to think that we sound horrible when we sing.
I myself hate the way my voice sounds when I record it. I can't believe that that's the way I sound. Maybe I just have a bad recorder or something.

• Kayy, my old teacher sings like a goat. :3
  Just wanted to add that.
  Its trus though. x'3

Perhaps, I used to sing myself but no longer. I sing to only music at my home, if anybody else is even close my mouth stays shut.

"Like a dying cow," I like that one.

• My bestestest friend ever was in choir...and she'll tell me sometimes that she doesn't sing well. Blah! Lies! Her singing is gorgeous. 8D
  
  I can't sing worth pennies and that's the truth. D:
  
  Hm, I'll have to look into the differences in how we sound and how others hear us. Sounds really interesting. Whenever I have to record my voice or something, it comes off really high pitched. Freaks me out that I sound like a little kid. But when I talk, I hear myself sounding...a little deeper?

lol.
My friend at lunch time loves to make up songs. and hes good at it too!!!!!!!

He makes fun of rap and makes up funny songs.
and me and my other friend make the beats. xD

My voice is actually the reverse... I think that it sounds great, but when I hear it (recording, etc), it sounds so bad... XP Anyway.

I've got a few friends like that.... I think it's a combination of wanting to be told that it's not true and self-consciousness. They'd like to be told that they're good to hear it (yea, I'm good), and to prove to themselves that they are.

I think she's just being modest. Wouldn't it be slightly more annoying if she said, "I'M SO GOOD AT SINGING. I'M BETTER THAN EVERYONE." I would rather them say they suck so that I could tell them they don't. 8D

I think I sing horribly and I’m told I sing well. I won’t normally sing in front of people though because I get embarrassed about it. My friend says I sing really well though, but I think she just says it because she knows it bothers me.
