Got this idea from the INFP board, and I figure it's equally relevant here. I'm going to use "voice" to mean both the physical sounds made by you, and the contributions you make.
Do you feel you use your voice to its best advantage? Are you confident with the tendencies of your speaking/singing voice? Do you hear it as other people do? What do you think of the contribution you make? Do you feel voiceless or muzzled? Do you feel as though you're not making the contribution you could be?
^ I don't know. Some of these questions reflect my mood of late. As much as I like online communication and have made friends both local and international from it, I don't feel very connected recently, here or in "real life". I'm not quite depressed or lonely, but I probably need a deeper connection as of late. I feel like I'm not part of a community, and yet I have numerous communities. I believe this is an arrow out into the world, it doesn't only point at me.
There are times that I have used my voice to its optimum and it seemed that not enough people (or the wrong people) were listening. So in various ways, over the course of years, I just stopped talking. And started talking in other places. It's a sort of rootlessness.
