It's true for everyone. We sense sound waves through two primary means of conduction - bone and air.
An example of this can be seen during an exam by a physician testing your hearing. S/he might strike a tuning fork and place it near your ear till you say the sound has disappeared, and then put the base of the tuning fork on your mastoid process behind your ear. Then, if you are normal, you hear the sound again, though it has a bit different quality. This bone conduction is actually more sensitive than air conduction.
So, when we speak, we hear ourselves through the bones of our skull and relatively less so through the air between our mouth and eardrum. We sound different. Not only does the space between your mouth and your listener's ear have an effect, but the shape of your listener's skull also has an effect.
Many people cringe to hear recordings of their own voice. They then ask their friends if they really sound like that, and, if it is a quality recording, your friend will say, yes. Usually, it bothers people because it's not what they are used to hearing from themselves. It's not because other people cringe at your voice they way you might when you hear a recording.
In so many ways, we humans are simply unable to see ourselves as others see us (or hear us.)

The recorded voice you hear is the voice that others hear.
Your own voice is distorted to your hearing.

your recorded voice is closer to what other people hear as long as the recording device is adequate. think about this, do the other people sound pretty much the same as you hear them on the recorded device. if so, then it's pretty safe to say that the recording device isn't just messing up your voice.

You are so right! It has to be a difference. A lot of times when I speak, people tell me that I talk slowly and distinctively but I hear my voice as being fast and jittery. Weird right?

Yes, our voice is heard differently by others.

particular! final week I swear I felt like there became a girl in my mattress chatting with me at as quickly as in my ear. She asked me dissimilar questions and then she reported "i understand you're actually not gay." (lol i've got been thinking my sexuality) It became so frightening. I struggled to rouse.... sleep paralysis is frightening. have you ever been entering into spirituality or mysticism? issues like which could open doorways to the unknown

It sounds different to you because you are hearing it vibrating in your head. It sounds flatter to everyone else. This is true of everyone.
