I’ve never experienced hearing voices, I’m wondering if that is unusual?

Yes I did. I never thought I’d be someone to hear people in my head and auditory hallucinations outside my head, but I did. It is bizarre, that’s how I would summarize it.

I hear external voices, but not internal ones.

I still have the voices in my head. I’m not sure that will ever change, but I am gaining perspective as I go.

It can be a challenge at times, but for the most part I stay on top of it

I guess that’s what confuses me, they can come from inside of your head as well, they don’t have to be external?

I don’t hear voices talking to me, but I hear sounds and think I hear my family talking to each other off meds.

@Artandfood When I was first developing schizophrenia, there were the voices inside of my head, which I believed to be the government hacking my mind via satellite if you can wrap your head around that one LOL.

But there was also the frequent sound of sirens, which seemed to be outside of my head.

The outside sounds have dissipated, but the voices in my head stay the same

I have never heard voices or hallucinated. My schizophrenia was just delusions and paranoia, which thankfully I don’t have anymore.

I hear voices inside my head and externally. Sometimes I have thoughts in my head that aren’t my own. I have also had inter dimensional experiences, and astral projection

No positive symptoms on meds but off meds its the delusions and internal voices that kill me. I think delusions are the worse, they make me do bad stuff like harming myself or harming others, to prove I am God or to prevent others from stealing my life energy and causing my sz/suffering.

Tactile hallucinations are my least favorite, I think. I had olfactory hallucinations before too

The tactile are for sure the worst. I usually feel someone grabbing my arm or gripping my thigh. It’s terrifying and really ramps up my paranoia. Olfactory I get with migraines, so I don’t think it’s an sz symptom for me as much as migraine aura type symptom.

I find auditory ones the most terrifying from my past. Internal from in head ones are terrifying as it’s like I had no control over my internal space.
And external voices were extremely despair-full, depressing, because they replaced the real people around me so felt like I was not in a real world. Very unsettling and distressing.

I rarely hallucintate and don’t really get voices. I do have a strong thought that comments on everything I do which is kinda the diagnostics. I am paranoid sz without the voices.
