I also will try to soften my voice a bit or even apologize and but after awhile I just get the feeling people hate the truth. I will tell you what you need to hear. Not what you want. I mean no harm but they tend to take it personal.

I’ve been a shift for about a month now before that I was a barista for two years. My problem has always been my tone of voice when I talk to people. It’s one of the things that bother me because it makes me feel misunderstood. I have to constantly remind people I may be a little aggressive but I’m not an asshole or mean. Most people I work with appreciate my darkish sense of humor or bluntness and I’m often the go to for someone to vent at work. Once they get to know you and see who you are as a whole, it’s up to them if they can handle your personality or not. I feel like their just not used to ya yet🤣
