I've Always Believed My Voices Are External

They’re so mean that I can only say that what they do is torture, and I would never torture myself. Half the time, I don’t even know what they’re talking about. It wouldn’t make sense to say I don’t know what my own mind is talking about. They emphasize things that I don’t think are important at all. They lie about what my thoughts are. I’ve had them for ten years, and I don’t think I’ll ever think of them as internal. I believe that something external is deliberately torturing me.

That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s coming from an outside source. If the brain can dream up nightmares when we’re asleep, there’s nothing to stop it from doing the same thing to a conscious mind.

I hope you get some relief, I sometimes go through week or month long phases of brutal, mean voices and it’s just exhausting.

Thanks, @agent101g. Sorry to hear you get brutal, mean voices too. My voices have gotten progressively worse over 10 years, but hopefully I’ll get some relief too.

I’m not that mean. Plain & simple. I’ve always felt they were external as well.

We don’t exactly know where dreams come from. Who’s to say these aren’t external as well?

How can voices be external if they are just hallucinations of our own brain?

Telepathy doesn’t exist.

My voices are internal - in my head but they are external in the sense that they are not me but separate beings from me

You mean they’re not your internal voice then, like when we talk to ourselves.

Yes they aren’t my internal voice. They are two spirits living in my head.

Some of mine are internal… some sound like they are whispering in my ear … like this morning I was meditating and something external whispered “I hate you” and I just kept on ignoring and it continued… but I didn’t interact with it…

I think mine are external as well. I believe that telepathy is possible now that I’m experiencing it. I have external voices from family and friends. My external voices were triggered by taking Risperidone. I don’t know how to stop them now, but I think I am bothering the people I am connected to.

You’re not bothering the people you’re connected to just because of your external voices.

I have the same type of voices. But once when I met someone new, I had a crush on, I heard him acting British. He was nothing like that. It was definitely me transferring my thoughts on to him.

Very interesting that he seemed British to you if he wasn’t.
