Today, I realized why I never hear my voice echoing when I sing to my boyfriend on Skype; he just mutes me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was singing in a terrible voice on purpose during a Zoom call from school, thinking I was on mute. I carried on, until a message saying, "The host has muted you" appeared on my screen. FML
Today, I noticed that my girlfriend has a deeper voice than I do. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend he is good at singing. Now he won't stop. FML
Today, my friend was confiding all her problems to me over Skype. I pressed the mute button so I could let out a fart, forgetting I'd already muted it earlier. I broke several minutes of my own silence with a devastating wet one. Now she won't talk to me. FML
Today, I was having a heated argument with my boyfriend over the phone. Mid-sentence, I yelled, “You never listen to me!” Alexa, from across the room, replied, “I’m listening.” My boyfriend started laughing so hard that he hung up. FML
Today, my boyfriend was having a really bad day, so I decided to call him and try to calm him down. At one point, I thought it would be sweet to sing him a song since he claimed to love my voice. Before I could get half way through, he told me to shut up because I was getting on his nerves and just making things worse. FML
Today, my roommate eavesdropped on me singing. When I realized he was there, he said I was "fucking incredible" and asked me to do another song. There's just one issue: I only sing well when I'm alone. The result was predictably bad. If it was possible to literally die of embarrassment, I wouldn't be writing this. FML
Today, after I had watched a few videos of myself, I realized the sound of my own voice is the single most annoying thing I have ever heard. FML
Today, I butt-dialed my ex-boyfriend while venting to my best friend about how hot but emotionally unavailable he is. I realized this when there was a lull in the conversation and I heard his tinny little voice coming out of the phone, saying, "I can hear you." FML
Today, I discovered my boyfriend listens way better in his sleep than he does when he's awake. FML

Have you asked him if he likes to be sung to?

What a jerk

Not wanting to hear someone sing doesn't always mean they are a bad singer. Maybe it is just me, but I am really uncomfortable being sung to, doesn't who it is or how good they are. Even if he meant well, the boyfriend should have said something and I hope OP is one of those that would be mature enough to listen if he did. Also, OP, not all video chats have an echo. Are you just guessing or do you know for certain he has done this?

You can't mute anyone on Skype... You can only mute yourself. Or at least on the version I use...

Work on your singing, or if he just doesn't like singing, don't sing too often.

You both need to learn how to setup skype and speakers properly, shouldn't be an echo in the first place.

At least he was trying to be nice about it

If this kind of thing happened more often, we wouldn't have had over ten years worth of awful american idol on TV.

Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too? Why you gotta be so rude? I'm gonna sing for you anyway~

You're clever for figuring this out.
