My ‘voices’ are now only when i am around people and i hear them insult me.
if I challenge people they all swear they haven’t said anything insulting.
how can I tell if what i hear people say to me is real or not?
I also "hear’ my phone go off and I go to check it but it did not
It is a sort of echo sound brain issue
Today I heard the clerk at the grocery insult me so I told him that was innappropriate but he claimed he didn’t say anything so I got mad and assumed he was lying. How can I know ?
i just walked out and said stop doing that or I will sue.
Now of course I am embarrassed to go back to the grocery store but one must buy groceries in this world.
Thaks for any insight.
I’m not sure. I think it might not even be possible.
I rarely get full-on auditory hallucinations, but when I do, it’s often easy to recognize them as such because there won’t be a possible source, like a woman’s voice when there is no other woman in the house, or music that is coming from absolutely nowhere, no electronics on or anything.
I just have a sort of a passive-judgement approach when interacting with people. Some people really are rude or unstable in their own ways, and they might say rude or weird things sometimes. I just ignore it. No point in arguing with a person if they have something wrong with them that would make them be hostile to random strangers in public. Best to just not take it personally, ignore it and move on. So it wouldn’t matter if it was real or not.
I think the longer we hear auditory hallucinations continually (especially what seems to be outside our heads) that harder it gets to tell what is real and what is not because the memory of what people said before we were ill fades away. That is one reason treating the disease early is a good strategy.
it is always outside my head, I used to hear it from the video or tv but now its only in public or around certain people, I guess its stress induced since I fear people due to a lot of crap that I went through
I know what it’s like, just had a series of auditory hallucinations during my trip to the corner store. If I had confronted the guy saying the nasty things, he wouldn’t have had any idea who I was.
