my in laws think i can just ignore the voices for them to go away. i have tried to explain to them that its not that easy. it just bothers me that all these people think i can do better by following their advice. my partner is the only one who understands that simply ignoring them isnt that easy
right on! i can’t ignore mine either. sometimes they get worse if i try to ignore them. sometimes they tell me to do things and if i don’t then they treat me worse. my voices are pretty harsh with me anyway.
Voices are actually there. That’s what bothers me the most about people’s lack of understanding. I’m not pretending to hear voices. I’m not even anticipating them. I actually hear them just like anyone hearing anything…
I find that acknowledging what is said and then moving on from it, trying not to get upset, makes my angel speak less. Staying calm and giving a calm response generally works for me. When it’s an attack, trying to get me to hurt myself, I get emotional and upset, but if I resist and stay firm, it always stops eventually.
People who don’t hear voices just can’t understand. Even the kind and caring people in my life don’t get it. It doesn’t matter… Your in-laws need to be ignored, and maybe they’ll stop talking
