My “others” are real. They have names that they told me. They do things while I sleep. They talk with me and try to guide me in certain directions. They get angry with me sometimes.

Do you feel they r real people?
Why do you think they r not real?

I think they are real because they do things I wouldn’t do. One of them wants control of my body.

it is common. I feel them as real persons sometimes, other times I just know they are hallucinations and I ignore them.

I think of it in terms of 3 categories:

  1. You think the voices are real people in the external world talking to you thru some form of telepathy

  2. Your so involved with the voices that they are most of what you hear and are therefor a very real part of your life

3 the voices seem real but you realize they’re created by you so you know they’re not.

Number 1&2 usually indicate that sz has taken over your life and you don’t have insight.

The only answer is medication

It is very common, I think that the majority of schizophrenics thought / think that the voices were real.

Theres real voices you have to know that but they dont have connection with your reality and yourself at all even with your thought. They just provocate you. Real voices are like whispers. Dont listen to them. Other voices is part of you and its your own thought sometimes.

Real voices are not exacly voice its whisper. Our own voices are heard better, dont you think?

Real vouces are ex. People from your district.

I don’t understand, what is the difference between ‘real’ voices and your own voices?

I don’t think voices can be real, it defies everything I’ve learned when it comes to science and logic.

They can FEEL real, they can SOUND real, but we’ve got to remember that it’s our brains playing tricks on us. It’s scary what brains can do sometimes, and how good we are at convincing ourselves that things are the way we think they are.

I feel that my delusions of reference are real entities, yes.
