Personally, I'm not a fan of either, so it's always been a little interesting to me to run into people that are more averse to hearing a recording of their voice.

(Also is there a dedicated term for audio-only voice recordings? 🤨)

Most people don't listen to their voice nearly as often as they look in a mirror.

Except when on shrooms, yeah. Do you not have mirrors in every bathroom?

Looking at my own face makes me uncomfortable, so I typically don't look imto mirrors straight-on.
