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*

I hear voices in my head; they council me; they understand... they talk to me.
Mainly they're just different versions of my own thoughts.

No voices. My brain translates everything into pure information. If I want to hear a voice or see a picture, I have to consciously conjure it up.
I don't think I am unique in this. But for some reason I don't meet many people who are the same.

I hear Morgan Freeman and Stephen Fry telling me to do bad, bad things to the evil people... There are evil people all around us... And it is my duty to purge them...
I listen to them all the time, however I do not always follow their directions. The voices I hear within my mind merely present all my options in any given situation, and not only would choosing all options be impractical it would also be bad. Other than that when I get lost in deep thought they can guide me down any string of thought I wish to follow.
My voices are more like my conscience, emotions, and the sum of all knowledge and wisdom I have aquired. They are not the type of voices the mentally unstable hear, I think.....

Meh, sometimes when I'm really pissed off or confused me mind conflicts with me and its like a little argument in my head because I have noone else to argue with.
the voice in my head is me. So it's not so much i listen too the voice in my head it's that i control that pompous analysing bastard.
I have this voice which basically speaks for my paranoia, and usually against my will it will give me unwanted images and constantly torment me over stuff which I know is fine....it's less of a voice and more something working offside of me, like it has it's own free will.
It depends on what you mean by "voices". If you mean incredibly creepy, soft whispers of a being greater than humanity, who heralds from the void beyond reality, then I regret to inform you I do no- Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!ThatLankyBastard said:
Well, here's the thing.Boneasse said:
It SHOULD be an inner monologue, not a dialogue. My inner monologue is fucking crazy sometimes, repeating ridiculous mantra's to myself, and sometimes even contradicting itself... But when there are MULTIPLE voices, and they stop representing your own psyche and represent that of someone else, is when you need to go to a therapist.
All I ever hear is a scream in my ear and my name repeated over and over in lots of different voices as if they all want me to do something for them. I hate it when it gets like that, I always think someone is actually calling for me and then it just gets maddening.
I'm gonna go with no, seeing as they are never coherent thoughts/sentences.

I tend to do this, but I no longer have to consciously put it into words (pictures are a different matter ... sometimes), I'm so used to having to try and articulate my many and complex thoughts to my friends that I now instinctually convert thought into words.Monkfish Acc. said:
EDIT: I don't have a separate voice in my own head. What I have is running-wild imagination, a level of paranoia I think most people have, a habit of paying over-attention to my sensory system when I get paranoid and an odd sense of spatial awareness. It tends to make me imagine how I look to other people, worry that I look like a spaz, then try and restructure my posture and gait using my sensory stuff in combination with a third-person perspective of myself. Also, it doesn't help that my physical appearance never fits with how I feel a physical manifestation of my consciousness would look so I end up being a bad judge of how I appear.
