"I've found it cringe-worthy due to the fact that they don't want to play a game that takes some thought. They pick one that just relies on the luck of the draw. I've tried to suggest different, fun games multiple times. Sometimes I'll demonstrate the game to try to create interest by explaining strategies that could be used. This is met with disinterest. What can I do? Go Fish"
"I have a soft voice that has been criticized by many. I took a required speech class in college, and the instructor made up an emergency and asked if anyone would believe me if I told them about it. I overheard my principal tell a colleague, It's a wonder she had any control over her (elementary) class with that voice. I am so tired of being talked over by others."
Hosts may face friends who prefer luck-based, low-effort card games; options include accepting their preference, excusing oneself from gameplay, or avoiding hosting games. Demonstrating strategic games often fails to change others' interest because some guests prioritize camaraderie over competition. Individuals with soft voices often develop nonverbal classroom tactics to maintain control and teach effectively. Those tactics can translate to other contexts to command attention without volume. Giving oneself credit for adaptive strategies and seeking alternative communication or organizational techniques can reduce being talked over and increase influence in social and professional settings.
