Do you argue with your voices, condemn them, yell at them, rant at them, scold them, or otherwise get in conflict with them?
I rant at my voices a lot. It’s hard not to.
Yes, it’s a problem with me. I’ll get furious and yell in my own head silently, my neck will tense up and I’ll go beet red. I’ll clench my fists and do everything short of screaming. I’ve pulled muscles doing this. Sometimes the voice which says I love you wont stop, and after the thousandth time I say, If you love me then SHUT UP!!! Just SHUT UP!!
Then the voice cries and calls me evil and I want to get vengeance on it. If it were a real person in the room, you’d have to hold me back from going ape on this person, they have taken so much from me by stalking me in my head.
I know it’s not a real person, but it acts like a real person sometimes, and it knows how to anger me. This is my last bridge to cross before I can feel better. I have to stop getting angry at echoes, even if they seem real.

That sounds awful. Best of luck to you!
Usually I just hear them. Sometimes I argue with them
I’m not exactly proud of what I posted but it’s happened to me in the past. I’m better medicated and haven’t done that in about a month. I guess I mentioned it because I felt like telling somebody.

Nice to see someone like me.
That sounds like a real tough battle! Props because you are very strong. I hope they stop after a while.

Oh yeah I do. Some of them are real nasty.
I try not to engage with my voices. I prefer to distract myself away from them. However, on the odd occasion i have told them to shut up…and one time they actually did, i was surprised. However, now that i take medication, the frequency in which the voices occur and how loud they are has significantly reduced. So i’m happy about this.

Yeah I argue and condemn my voices out loud they do the same to me.
I very rarely interact with my voices. I just listen to them, try to drown them out with music etc, or write down what they say.

Usually I just listen to them too. Either bad or good, I write them down lately. It helps

Thanks for sharing though. I also really struggle with getting upset at my voices. It’s hard not to rant at them. Dealing with aggravating voices is super tough.
I used to really fight them but they persisted and in the long run they wore me down. So i eventually just learned to get along with them. It doesn’t mean things are necessarily all that wonderful but we do kinda co-exist with the medicine being part of the way to make it bearable.
Yeah, I tell mine to ■■■■.
