Poll: The Voices in Your Head...

[Firepowered]

Yup, I have, like, this little parliament thing, all in my head. There are four of 'em, and they represent law, chaos, evil and good. Whenever I have to take a decision, an argument ensues.
Usually, chaos and good are stronger than the others, though sometimes evil sounds more reasonable (and I listen to law only as to what concerns the negative outcomes of my actions, e.g. clashes with autorithies, physical pain, stuff like that)
It's a bit like consequentialism versus deontologism (chaos-law) plus selfishness versus the greater good (evil-good).
I go along with what the voices say, depending on their overall decisions. After all, I picture them as parts of my self.

This seems accurate for this discussion.

damn! I wanted to use that picture!

Now I must kill you.

 

[MrMixelPixel]

Meh, I listen, because they keep me from doing really stupid things.

Not sure If I want to call whatever it is that does this... a voice though.

 

[JRCB]

Well, when it's telling me to jump in front of a car or to stab people, no. Such is life with an evil voice in your head.

 

[Mr Shrike]

The voices in my head are constantly arguing with each other. It makes my behaviour so irrational.

Like split personalities, but not quite as bad.

 

[Beryl77]

The only voice I hear in my head is my own voice but I guess that's just the inner dialogue and not considered as hearing voices.

I might listen to them, but going by most of them, I am a Sadistic Bastard who loves to do nothing more than burn an Orphanage to the ground and rape a Nun as she watches all the Children scream in pain as their flesh is stripped from the bone by the fire, while slowly cutting open her throat so that she drowns in her own blood.

But some of the voices are nice enough, I'll listen to them often.

I'm not even going to start saying who the voices in my head are. There's a lot of them.

And I'm not going to tell a Doctor about them because if he asks me what they say I'll get sent to an Asylum.

I have a few voices floating around up there. Most of them are me, just with different inflections. However, lately I have been hearing the voice of Courage Wolf when I need a little extra motivation. Also, on the rare occasion I'm feeling suave, my inner monologue begins to sound like Isaiah Mustafa (the Old Spice Guy).

I won't lie, as soon as I saw this thread I looked for that picture. When I didn't see it I had to make a post.

 

[BabyRaptor]

Mostly they just say funny stuff. So yeah, I'll listen.

 

[GameOverGoblin]

I used to have a lot of voices in my head, but lately I've just been hearing Lucifer(bad, obviously), Romeo(impulsive), and Inigo Montoya(honorable). Tend to listen to Inigo most of the time.

 

[DSEZ]

i have 2 voices one really raspy and the other one sounds like michael c hall in dexter

we all have talks when im bored in class and they actually basically have there own mind and opinion on everything

and whenever they fight i get really bad headaches

 

[holographicman]

I can't help but listen to them, they all sound like Morgan Freeman.

lucky bastard.....

 

[interspark]

when i'm faced with a problem i tend to voice the two solutions like people having a converstion and see which side makes more sense, sounds crazy, but it helps. if they tell me to kill people or torch orphanages i tend to ignore them

 

[Jon Shannow]

Say what you want about the voices but they have some pretty good ideas

 

[[.redacted]]

When in conversations I have the voice of the person they want to be speaking to, and a second voice that is constantly thinking of the perfect sentence, complete with intonation and gestures, to cause them the maximum amount of psychological trauma in the minimum amount of time.

I never say it though - I guess it's the social equivalent of the "wouldn't it be interesting to see how many pieces that glass statue breaks into" voice, which I am also a victim of.

Edit: Don't lie, you have them too =P

 

[The Stonker]

This question came up in Sociology class...

Yes, we have discussions like this in school...

I do, they often tell me what the right thing is to do in this situation.
I just call it a piece of me that's all.

...Burn down the orphanage....Eat their soul!
Sorry, that was Richard.

 

[Geminel]

I generally just hear my parents giving advice on whatever topic my mind happens to be mulling over.

There's also one voice that sounds oddly like Mark Hammel's Joker, I just consider it to be my dark sense of humor coming out.

 

[Tsunimo]

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...

Got the Dexter complex going there do we?

 

[beniki]

I try to. I really do.

But they can be so loud sometimes.

And they conspire with my feet to take me places.

And they scheme with my voice to spread lies.

And they seduce my hands to hold certain things.

They are speaking again. It is only a matter of time. They will whisper one last time to my heart. And suggest it is time to rest...
