Does anyone experience hearing voices but not actually “hearing” them? Kind of like the way you “hear” your conscience speak to you but it’s like it’s altered to where your “hearing” voices talking but not actually hearing them? It’s hard to explain but does anyone experience this?
Yes, I vaguely understand. Before I got meds I could almost “feel” the voices more than I could hear them.
@Lexicon could you make out what the voices were saying or was it more like background noise?
Both. Depends on how aggressive they were being. The external voices would hide in the clanging of silverware or banging of pots, etc., etc.
@Lexicon were the banging pots auditory hallucinations or did you mean literally hearing silverware banging lol
I could hear voices within the noises. Each clang was a word or syllable of a phrase, usually insulting or intended to trigger PTSD, but sometimes positive/motivational. Like “good day,” which meant that I did well at life on that particular day.
My voices are all in the form of inaudible communication. Sometimes I can make out exactly what they are saying and sometimes I just ‘know’ what they are saying because they speak to my subconscious all the time. Other times they just insert thoughts but they occasionally have conversations with me in my head.
I could hear them like they were inside my head or at a distance use to look around to see if anyone was there i don’t have these symptoms anymore but remember them well always waiting for it to start up again
I mainly have internal voices.
Yup. It’s pretty much normal but we’re sensitive and ■■■■■■ up lol. A doctor told me they’re voices, but I know better.
Yes. When I first started hearing I did. The voices would tell me to listen. Don’t listen and keep trying to ignore. Listening to them has ruined my life.
