I know it does to other people, but I don't always feel or see the tone change they say they see. There are times there aren't even changes and people still say they perceive something. I wonder if it's a cultural thing, even if only partially, as I am not the same culturally as most others I see. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago Probably just means you're on the spectrum. Most people intuitively understand tonality. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Doog@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago I'm not the other user, but I can firmly say mine doesn't.
