I am ugly physically and always been quiet/last of the group to be picked picked anything at school etc.
I also have a strange voice. I've always been asked where I am from as people refuse to believe I'm Essex born and bred. Apparently I sound really northern and I have been told I end sentences with a sort of question lilt.
Anyway over the past few years people have started imitating my accent and it does upset me. For example if I am saying Ellie it will come out as Elle my cousin has started imitating me without saying its me she is imitating. I really blew up at her earlier telling her that she knows I am self conscious about my voice amongst everything else. She apologised but said she couldn't help it.
Now I am sat in my room like a young woman crying at how weird I must appear both in looks, mannerisms and voice. I am just sick of being me but also feel a bit guilty as things were left badly between my cousin and I and we have always been close. Aibu to have got angry with her?
