Honestly is being monotone a bad thing? Does being monotone make you are an emotionless person or a person who is labeled boring? Honestly does it?
Well if you didn't know I am monotone person.
[Raises hand] I have been told and am very aware that I am monotone person. In fact, I have been told by so many people that even my boss is starting to point it out.
At work my work I have to introduce myself for like five to fifteen seconds in front of all my students on stage in the morning and apparently my introduction sticks out the most out of all the workers. Not because I am smiling or energetic, but because I am the
"emotionless" one on stage. It is so noticeable where my boss told me during lunch on how unexcited I seem on stage and how I need to work on it or she will start calling me out on stage for being unexcited and emotionless in front of all my students
(I work with new transfers and frosh at my university and we get about 200 students a day). It was awkward to hear, but also infuriating because I feel like she was not criticizing me to improve my working style, but criticizing me as a person. And also because the other workers are emotionless and unexcited on stage too, but just mine sticks out because my voice is lower than others.
I have been monotone since practically ever since my balls officially dropped in puberty. My voice got super low and I lost my childish high pitch voice. All my emotions were in those high positioned balls and those emotions are long gone now. That is why I feel like I should say to my boss,
"Blame my balls for dropping 10 years ago because I definitely do."
[Okay I am not as bad as this guy]Later Days...

good that you have something to blame! eh!? :)
btw, hi sonlay!
Yeah, I've had that. Even so far as that in a job interview, the manager said, "Well... You seem really good... But you lack enthusiasm. Its just.. yeah.. You lack enthusiasm", so I only got a seasonal job.
It sucks, and like you said, it feels pretty crappy too.
But you have so much personality on Xanga!

being monotone just makes you a boring person!
Yup! Blame it on puberty! Everything went down hill for all of us when that hit! haha
