There really is no logical explanation for this. It’s really not real, right? Even if I hear other people’s voices, they can’t really know what I’m thinking. It really doesn’t make sense.

I know that, but it always sneaks its way back into my mind.

I thought this some years ago. It was just another way the voices tried to trick me and mess with me.

Yeah every now and then I still get those thoughts
did you smell that?
I came to the conclusion that it was so I would act as if those “thoughts” are real so I would do or say something that would make me look crazy.
The fear is so intense though, I don’t know how to get rid of it. The voices mimic the voices of people I know.
Do I smell what?
fried chicken…!!

My voices are all of people I know or have known as well. Mostly people I grew up with who I cut off all communication with. The voices just have a more evil personality than the people I knew although they weren’t saints either.
Sorry, but this doesn’t help me. I got into spirituality deeply, and still try to practice Buddhism. However mediumship, psychic abilities, etc. is quackery. I believe that MAYBE saints who have purified themselves and practiced meditation for years MAY be able to do some things the rest of us can’t, but to focus on that exclusively is to waste one’s life.
I know because I spent a while myself trying to “develop my psychic abilities”. It got me nowhere and brought me nothing but a sense of contempt for people who weren’t “on the same level”, as well as frustration and more despair.
Meditation itself helped, but also made me more psychotic a majority of the time.
Schizophrenics have an issue in the brain, it is not a spiritual problem.
Internal train of thought is hijackable too called ‘thought insertion’…If you keep hearing same word or phrase in your own mental voice, not related to surroundings or current activities is hijacked brain. Ignore it…
Kids and old folks can sound possessed too due to this. Is just bad joke and usually REALLY embarrassing to be uncomfortable for you. Need to just ignore this crap as is just bad joke and some of these don’t have a clue they are doing it…Other kids are told this is how we have to treat people now and they follow orders to bother people as their parents or church tell them this is normal now…
All is called delusional by mental care which means they just cannot discuss this as a matter of govt policy.
I probably have the same problem. Well,actually I do have the same problem. But it doesn’t bother me. I got diagnosed in 1980 and I wasn’t aware I had the problem until about 1996. I was in an AA meeting and a popular, well known (in the AA circle) paranoid schizophrenic who I had been acquainted with for years walked up to me and said out of the blue, “You think people can hear your thoughts”. I was a little confused but I knew immediately that he was right though no one, not even a doctor, had ever told me that before. I didn’t care. I just kept on taking care of business and I didn’t worry about it. I’m so used to thought broadcasting that I really rarely think about it.

I don’t have thought broadcasting but I definitely have thought insertion. Big time. I have to just live with it. Sometimes it almost goes away and sometimes it is very obvious but there are always those pesky thoughts that they ‘put’ in my head. Learning to live with it may not be the best advice but for some folks that’s all there is.

That user hasn’t been here in ages.
Typically, we like to leave inactive threads alone and just start a new thread instead. This is different than how some forums are run, but we do it this way because it frequently upsets users to have old topics revived when they are no longer relevant. It can also be frustrating to the person who revived the thread when they don’t get a reply, because the original poster is no longer active or no longer finds the topic relevant. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic.
