Poll: The Voices in Your Head...

[Mr.Mattress]

The Voices in my head, are just me with the same or different voices (Unless I am imagining something), so yeah, I listen to myself. Why wouldn't I?

 

[Ganthrinor]

I listen, but I don't always act upon them.

Damn my sense of self-preservation.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Can't say that I hear them, personally, though I can battle with my guilty consience every once in a while over moral choices and stuff I've done and such.

But that's more like an inner dialogue... That's not hearing voices... Right?

At least that's what they tell me. *Shrug*

somewhat this, especially on the guilty conscious part, i called this guy last night a douchebag who looked like he got hit in the face with a brick, and for the next couple hours i felt like a douche =\ so no more of that...generally my inner good always wins battles.

but actual voices, they pop up from time to time, whether its past experiences or friends who have told me certain things, they will pop up relating to situations and i generally take a second to reflect on it and if i deem it the good way to go about it i trust it, which is 60% what i do.

 

[TheTaco007]

I don't know what they want from me! They just keep going "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!"

MAKE IT STOP!!!

 

[FortheLegion]

The voices in my head just trick me into thinking someone is calling for me...
They're jerks

 

[Trivun]

The only voices I hear, when people aren't talking to me, are my own thoughts, which I am fully conscious of and am usually controlling anyway. Oddly enough, I've sometimes had full conversations with myself, usually just when thinking up discussions that characters of mine could have when I'm writing. I try to focus on realistic dialogue like that...

 

[luclin92]

rarely, but hes really annoying some times. but sometime he makes some really convincing arguments for the ting we argue about.

 

[spartan1077]

My inner voices are my master, and I am their faithful servant. They tell me to dance in public and humiliate myself, I do it. I don't question it, since it's my body and the choices are never to kill some-what's that? Kill the president. Never. That's wrong. No, why do you ask? Hello? Anyone there?...the voices left me for now...

EDIT: Did I mention when my voices are there, they sound like anime characters? They also look like them...damn it, they're back

 

[zehydra]

the only voice I hear in my head is my own.

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

Nope, no voices. How did hearing voices come up in Sociology? Shouldn't coversations like that come up in Psychology?

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

I don't really have voices, but something else to that same extend.
Call it "mind states" maybe. Some slight bipolarity of personality.
I have a very strong urge to learn new things as a part of my self,
and when I enter "The Madness Place" and go about like some lunatic
scientist out of a book, movie or role playing session, I am surely
under some compulsion. It's not a voice, but something is there, is
telling me things. I don't have voices. At least not in that sense.

All the lines above (this too) are of equal length. Cool, isn't it?

 

[paragon1]

Oh yeah, all the time. They're really smart! Well, except for that one guy. He keeps shouting in Cantonese, can't understand a word of it.

 

[Padwolf]

Haha I sometimes have random conversations like that in Sociology too

Mostly I hear my own voice in my head, but sometimes there are the other voices, they are the voice of reason in my head. Until now... My xbox 360 just red ringed of death... the voices are telling me to go into a rage...

 

[Adventurer2626]

There's just one besides me. My Other Self is my dark side, my moral opposite on most accounts. It's cruel, profane, and sadistic, yet ambitious and cunning as well. So he is often times a useful adviser and entity to discuss ideas with. He just as often sparks my ire, delighting in frustrating and prodding me with horrible images and thoughts about those I care about. Also he's the first (and usually most vehement) one to verbally berate me for my mistakes and flaws. I threaten him with violence and death regularly but don't know how to excise him, being of my own creation born of much self-angst and longing for a mentor during puberty. So I just tolerate him most of the time.

<- Regular mental case

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Not so much voices, as they are whole other people having a conversation in my head. My thoughts run up against others, and which is in control is usually whoever's making the most sense. Keeps things interesting, and allows for considering multiple perspectives.

 

[Ekonk]

If by voices you mean 'your own thought-voice', then yes, all the time.

If you mean strange voices commanding you to do unspeakable things, then no.

 

[Doctor What]

I grew up moving a lot, and never really had a lot of friends. I used my imagination a lot too. As I grew older, I did that less and less, but I do have a tendency to monologue aloud and hold conversations in my head.

When I'm in a bad mood, or something bad is happening in my life, I tend to have my moments.

 

[Xaio30]

I got a lot of voices in my head. One's logical, one's insane, and one's just, well, random. The random one gets into fights with my logical one, the insane one tells me to do all kinds of fucked up shit, but when it comes down to it, I just tell them to shut the fuck up. Then everybody looks at me funny.

Pretty much this, except it's just the logical one I hear when listening. He helps me through the tricky emotional situations pretty well.

 

[Nayr]

wow thats a sociology class. Silly arts. Some of it is interesting, but a question like that is kind a poor one for a class, probably the prof trying to seem vague or make his students think they are a genius haha.
