I have never heard them. The only time i have is when i was severely sleep deprived and had abilify with drawals. Even when i was diagnosed, i never heard voices. Although i was very obsessed with particular things and paranoid. My mind tried to over compensate by making links to things that had no link and then i go paranoid. For example i thought people where talking about me. And i heard peoples conversations and they would say a specific word and i would relate that to myself Is this what schizophrenia is?

You can have sz with delusions but no voices. I personally have voices, and used to have delusions. All my symptoms are managed except the voices. Everyone’s different, some people just have the delusions and have trouble shaking them.
I don’t hear them clearly just mumbling and strange noises. Paranoia is my biggest concern.

I rarely hear voices. Even when I do it is like hearing people mumble in another room or my name being called.

Part of it is intrusive thoughts. I don’t know if you could define it as just that but I think it’s part of it, I’m not really super qualified to answer though, I just have experience as a patient.
I hear my name called a lot too @anon4362788 . Also lots of benign but somewhat annoying narration, like Rod Serling is narrating my life for an audience. Usually only when I’m alone. I get a break at work and in public for some odd reason, as long as I’m medicated.

Im jealous the voices tear me apart everyday
I wish I didn’t have audio or visual hallucinations. I know they’re not real medicated, but seriously, it sucks having them.
I don’t hear voices either.
That’s intresting. I do not hear voices calling my name but from time to time, rarely, there’s a thought comeing that I realize is not mine.

Yeah, those are hard. You can’t blame yourself for them. I’d get violent or sexual thoughts that were super inappropriate, and in the early days I’d blame myself for somehow being dirty or evil-minded, but eventually I found out it was just another symptom, similar to hallucinating.
I’m one who don’t hear voices in my head.
When i hear my name then it was a person in a shopping center i saw before, without looking at me in a 15 feet distance.
I’m good in locating the direction of sounds.

I have delusions and hallucinations. No voices.
I did when i was younger. Before paranoia
My AP takes away the voices. I pretty much don’t hear them except when I go to a restaurant and here the other people in the restaurant making comments about me. I instantly realize I am making it up and it is voices.

That was what i was like before medication. Before medication i was very hyper almost wired. But i was like that naturally
I don’t hear voices, but I have the delusion people are inserting thoughts in my brain.
