Is it weird that listening to audiobooks gives me secondhand embarrassment? Am I insane or does this happen to anyone else?

Same 🫣 especially when the narrator fakes an accent or a guy tries to voice a woman character with a “feminine voice”

Hot take: yea People listened to stories for 99% of human history. Reading is the weird skill, and reading silently even weirder historically. Most people read out-loud until like the 15th century
