I'm told I have a tell when I'm upset.

The people I work with say they can tell when I really am upset and when I'm feigning it to motivate them.

When I really do get upset, I'm told that I have a southern draw complete with slang, dialect, etc...

When I am feigning upset, I'm told that I fire for effect by speaking calm at first, then booming to startle them. This part is true.

Because they can tell this, I'm learning how I actually speak when I'm angry so that I can feign that too

Does anyone else have an accent change when they get angry?

You post entirely too many threads that people don't care to read.

I do pretty much the same thing. Even though I was born here, for some reason I don't normally have a discernible accent (probably as a result of my dad being from Illinois). But when I'm really angry it is much more likely to show through.

i'm the opposite. i lose most of my accent when i'm really angry. mostly because i'm trying very hard to not scream, so i tend to speak more slowly and enunciate

My southern twang comes back when i speak to my family.

After three years in Raleigh I don't sound at all like I did back home.

My employees tell me that I already speak weirdly anyway. Apparently "North Carolinian" is code for "alien" in Texas.

that is strange. i'm from nc and my husband is from tx. when we are in nc, people think he is from nc too. when we are in tx, people think i'm from tx. everywhere else, we get a mix of nc and tx. the accents really aren't that far apart (depending on the area of course)

where are you in tx?

when i get angry, one of two things happens... either i'm really vocal about it (pretty mad, but i can be calmed down), or i'm really, really quiet (this is when you need to be worried about me fucking your shit up).

aha this happens to me. Apparently when I'm really pissed I get a Southern drawl going. Which is weird since I spent most of my younger childhood not in the South

being angry doesn't benefit anyone

but if you want to argue that it does, then you could only realistically argue that being angry only benefits yourself

^^^ i'm not sure why you're implying that getting angry has anything to do with being immature or selfish. both are perfectly normal, even logical responses in many instances.

[Edited on September 8, 2009 at 11:03 PM. Reason : ^ and that's a pretty stupid argument.]

^^ there's no reason for me to do so. your argument is self-defeating.
