Here's my survivorship anectdote. I have 5 younger brothers with anxiety disorders ADHD etc, and no sisters.

I have no idea what specific things I do to be heard, but I almost have the opposite problem. People listen to me when they really shouldn't.

Being in the environment I was in as a kid forged me into this unignorable person, because if I ever wanted to be heard in my family it was a fight to the death. My default talking stance is apparently really aggressive and commanding.

Yes it was LOUD in my house all the time, yes my poor mother, yes I still have issues to work through.
