Just wanted to make a topic where everyone posts everything they know about their voices in hopes we can hopefully make more sense of our own realities or dream states were living in.
For me I feel I am telepathic and the voices I receive are coming from friends or people I know. I’ve had voices of celebrities, but believe they were just my friends playing tricks on me (as they are somehow able to copycat their voices and send it to my head). I believe they can do this and make computer or game sound efx, because they are not using their real voice but their minds to generate these sounds.
For some reason my friends are all mean to me in my head, but in real life when I see or talk to them act completely normal. Not sure why this is, but my rationalization has been something along the lines of a quote from fight club. “First rule of being telepathic is you do not talk about being telepathic”.
Currently only hear the voice of one friend. I use to hear more, but focused on just one. I focused on this one, because I feel like he has harassed me the most with the least amount of warrant, and if he is going to harass me at least I can bother him all day with my thoughts as well.
In my mind this one person can hear all my thoughts and comments on them and tries to suck the motivation out of anything positive I have or want to do with my life.
My family and the Doctors tell me to try and ignore the voice. However, I find this impossible, because it is like trying not to think (seeing as the voice hears all my thoughts). The best I can do is treat it like background noise but it still hurts.
If I am in a more crowded area I find the voices may become more external, but when I am alone or with people I am comfortable with they basically feel like thoughts in my mind (just feel as though they aren’t my own).
I feel as though if this person were to die his voice would completely disappear and I would never hear it again. Although I am sure I would probably end up hearing another friends voice as somehow my mind seems to crave the voice. My mind seems the crave the voice as I have gotten rid of this voice 3-4 times before. However, after a while I question it and think back to it (possibly sending messages to that part of my brain or the person) and they respond. I am sure if this person were to die my mind would make me test this ‘reality’ on another friend and I would hear that person in my head non-stop.
Lastly, the close friends I had in my head that were bothering me before and I was able to get rid of no longer come into my head. I think this is because after I got rid of their voices I told them I was schizophrenic. Whether this is a good or bad thing I am not sure. I no longer hear their voices in my head, but feel a bit stigmatized by it.
Hope this helps someone. And hope some other people can shed some light on their experiences so we can all hopefully gain some insight on our voice hearing.
