I’m not sure if this is going to sound strange, but I’m so accustomed to the voices of different kinds of people that my mind at this point just registers the many different accents as different voices within one accent (as in my mind doesn’t say “oh that’s another accent” anymore, it doesn’t register it) and I actually miss being able to appreciate peoples’ accents as accents, which sucks when for example you’re attracted to them.
I wish… I have the opposite problem. I work with people from many different countries and my brain gets utterly scrambled by constantly switching between accents. Sometimes it gets so bad that I, an Australian, cannot understand a person from New Zealand. It all just registers as random noise. I’ve been in this job for 8 years and I really try but it doesn’t get any better and it’s quite embarrassing.
