I hate deep breathing/diaphragm breathing around others, it’s loud enough for them and they always ask if I’m angry, upset etc. How do I breathe quieter while still having it be deep?

Do a complete inhale and exhale over 10-15 seconds. Move a lot of air slowly. The inhale should physically push out your ribs and stomach and the exhale should push in your stomach and you should feel your rib muscles hurt. As a bonus you can freak out people counting your respirations.
My nose used to be tight and hissy. Then I did a lot of meditation where I put my attention on the feeling of breath in the tip of my nose.
It loosened up good. No more tightness. Almost never get a clogged nose either.
I have since switched to a different meditation technique but my nose remains good.
Is your nasal septum ok? Maybe it could be deviated (almost all are, but at different degrees) and creates the sound you hear.
By doing it slower. The sound comes from breathing quickly not deeply.
Most people breathe silently
And don’t think about it. Something’s wrong if someone is conscious of how they’re breathing.
Doesn’t have to be physical either. You can think you’re breathing loudly and annoying everyone and then hyper focus on that while you attempt to breathe quieter.
Coming from someone with a deviated septum, you can’t 😔
I had that after getting hit with a hockey stick as a kid. Got it straightened in my 20’s and it made a big difference.
You let your passive breathing be passive breathing and you actively breathe when you need to actively breathe.
I’ve found my breathing in general has improved since I started trying to institute a 20:80 rule.

A… wut?
Why are you even thinking about your breathing at all? Your body will handle it, that’s why you don’t die when you go to sleep.
You are now manual breathing.
You’re welcome.
Some of us have a little voice that never stops saying that and you need to work on that.
You are now manual breathing.
Um… nope.
Okay Mr cool guy.
Congrats on never losing the game.
It’s an honor to have met a Chosen.
(Smosh reference… in case you don’t get it.)
What’s a 20:80 rule in this context?
20% of my day, intentionally breathe strongly and manually. 80% of the day, try not to breathe manually.
See an ear nose and throat specialist. They have have a look up your snoot and see what’s up.
