Both. Sometimes I speak out loud because they control my thought

Yes. I see.
But usually when i respond with my voice,
I turn my head to the right, as if someone is
standing next to my ear.

No, there are occasions that
I need to shout, do hand gestures etc. Lol

I don’t reply at all. They’re not real, so why bother?

That’s a mature thing to do.
They sound real, though

They also feel real to me, but I’ve learned to just treat them as background noise.
How did this come about? How did you first start to stop listening or paying attention? @shutterbug

When I started doing CBT. It helped train me to not react to my voices as I stopped seeing them as real or a threat. Same with delusional thinking. I still have weird thoughts, but find them amusing.

99% of the time i dont reply. my voices (which i dont hear that much) usually talk in a sorta code. or in weird meanings. outside the visions which i guess have a verbal feel where i hear people saying mean things to me or about me. i dont respond to them either. it just makes me worried.

I’m so sorry that sounds horrible.
I don’t hear voices myself, my main symptom is delusions.
Can I ask you, do you always know that the voices are not real? I mean most of the time I know my delusions are not real. But sometimes they seem so real. Does the same go for voices?

Either real or not,
they still have the
same effect on me.
Frequently, i forget
that they’re in my mind.
I take them seriously.

I hear them constantly. They are present regardless of whether acknowledge their existence or not

In my case, meds make them sound weaker.
Also the insight is higher with APs.
I can’t imagine what would happen
without any APs
