How to tell the difference in voices and your intuition?

Have you ever heard anyone say “trust your intuition”? How can we know the difference in intuition and just hallucinating voices? What would you consider the difference? I used to always follow my voices thinking it was my intuition. Thanks

First Delusion and Hallucination are two different things
So which one is you referring to?
Do you mean hallucination?

Hearing voices, so yes the auditory hallucinations. I usually believe it is my intuition speaking, but how can I know the difference?

I can’t seem to know
I don’t understand intuition speaking, I’m not english speaker
and I don’t have hallucination, I don’t know the different
sorry I can’t be much help
but I also struggle with something similar
I have Internal monologue in my head, I believe is my inner voice
but my psychiatrist don’t understand what inner voice is
and he said it hallucination
Do you mean something like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_monologue
I also want to know the answer so I will stick with you here~

Your intuition is more of judgement calls but are not voices. Intuition is more like a gut instinct telling you (not literally) that something is right or wrong.

Basically, just trying to distinguish the difference between intuition and auditory hallucinations.If you’re confused on what intuition is then just click the link I provided and it’ll further explain what I mean. The only reason I was asking is because sometimes I follow my voices like they’re intuition telling me something, even though they aren’t necessarily

To me it’s like intuition when I hear people giving advice to me

No your intuition comes from inside you not from someone else.

It doesn’t feel like just auditory hallucination either. I don’t get anything random, but advise to my thoughts that seem like their real personalities than just their voices.

hmm I have some similar thing, I having conversation with them in my head(but never talk)
my psychiatrist said I have delusion of being controlled
but yes I’m me and you are you
maybe next time you meet your psychiatrist, why don’t you tell them about this?

Delusion about being controlled sounds about right.
Just heard my father say to get off the sz.com, but usually it’s more neutral commentary.
This delusion fits with me being influenced by the devil too

Hmm, I don’t think I’m influenced by devil, So I can’t relate to that
just like sharing body with people?
but I never meet anyone who have similar symptom as me before
now I feel less alone thank you!

Same!
I feel out of myself, sometime looking myself from above
or it’s just black out, then I wake up? snap back?
like umm like when I cook some food
I feel like I want to eat it, then my head went black out
in front of me is cooked food and then I “Ah yes this one I did it! at least I think hmm?”
I know I did but I don’t remember the detailed, just feel like someone taking over me and did it
these people in my head have name and thier own appearance too, what about you??

I don’t black out but get these intense feelings of thoughts put into me and laugh about sad stuff. It just feels like some form of possession
