^^ Sorry to bother everyone. Often when I am feeling agitated I have voices inside me that appear in my head without my intention. I often disagree with what they say. However, I do not feel that I hear them, as they are within my mind I believe and almost a variant of my own voice. ^^ Is this perhaps classed as "hearing voices" may I ask? I believe this becomes very scary and I feel more greatly agitated when the happy voice friends appear as I must debate with them in my head. Sorry if I am being very silly.

hm...
i think the normal thing is to use ones own voice, but not in an audible way. just an imagination of a voice.

if you hear true voices, as if some is really next to you, then i think you should see a doc...

I dunno. I always wonder though do you really have to hear a voice that's not there (through you ears) in order for it to actually be considered hearing voices? Some of us can't help having thoughts in our heads that won't go away but I find it a bit impossible that a lot of these schizophrenics are hearing nothing BUT negative voices. Perhaps the pessimism kicks in before the actual voices do.

Tomasu, I'm in the same situation you are. If I get agitated or something upsets me all the negative thoughts and voices drop into my head as is someone just dropped a train on me and they stick around for quite some time. I can't help but focus on them. I have trouble sleeping sometimes because of it. Having these thoughts in my head almost does sound like hearing vocies but I know they're not coming from the ear drum...they're coming straight from my head but it's not easy to make them go away as it is for someone with a stronger self-esteem.

I often have conflicting voices in my head, generally either arguing with or insulting each other/me. I believe it's a totally normal thing that just contributes to the strangeness that is human consciousness.
I think it becomes an issue when you start to think of the voices as separate entities and not part of your own mind or if you feel you are being forced to do things out of your will and control.

i think so ^^^^ for the voices to be "dangerous" you have to hear them as if theres someone IN the room WITH you. at least, the cases i heard of, where people had SERIOUS issues, thats what they were experiencing.

absolutely REAL voices, "HI THERE!! !"

I'm still trying to figure out why my voices hate me so much.

Because you hate yourself? I despise myself and my voices hate me too...and each other.

The voices in my head I think presents the many parts of my personality.. I often have conversations with them often debate why certain thing happened in my life.

^^ Thank you very much indeed for your help everyone. I believe I do not believe that the voices are from an individual outside of myself, such as in the room (or outside in the same area perhaps) with me, yet are pixies within my little head. ^^ Yaye, I believe I feel very much the same as you, raisedbyignorance.
