I really don't. I was telling my ex when we were still classmates 11 years ago, that I will never want to speak like a teacher.
While recounting to SE an unpleasant conversation between another friend and I, where I told SE the exact words my friend and I said to each other, SE asked me to stop speaking like a teacher. :( sigh.. I don't like.
Then I was chatting with another friend, before we left the conversation, she said, "yes Miss See" and "yes mam", I asked if I sounded like a teacher. She said a lil. :( I don't like. She said it's prolly occupational hazard.
I feel frustrated because I know it carries into my personal life. And I really don't like it. Already as it is, I am not as teacher as other teachers, but there's still that teachery tone.
Maybe it's not the tone, but the things that are said? I really don't know. Lord. I don't want to sound like a teacher. Help help help.

I'm guilty of saying that you sound like a teacher. But please hear me out first...
My impression of teachers are that they are very kind and caring. When you talk to people, you sound and am very caring and kind... Really! The 'Yes Mdm' reply is MY occupational hazard.
to: missee,
why dun u like sounding like a teacher? it's not necessary a bad thing u know. i mean, what exactly does it mean to sound like a teacher? do i sound like a teacher to you? i think, most importantly, juz be yourself lor...and cher, we love you for who you are!
