you might have some form of mental illness or it might be a neurological/physical problem. you might want to see a neurologist or a psychiatrist.

whatever you decide to do though, you shouldn't be ashamed of your problem. there is nothing to be ashamed of.
schizo
is it just your contience your hearing because i hear that? Is it usually after you do something you feel bad or guilty about? If so it is normal.If not you should'nt be ashamed you should seek medical help.Don't be afraid you could benefit from it.
You might be schizofranic its not something you should hide from your family they would only help you in the long run try talking to your doctor about it and maybe there is medication you can take also pot would be a bad idea becaues it causes shizofrania in some people. Good luck
"is it just your contience your hearing because i hear that? Is it usually after you do something you feel bad or guilty about? If so it is normal."

If you are actually HEARING voices instead of just debating yourself internally, that is most definitely NOT normal.

However, hearing voices is a known problem. It isn't normal, but it isn't something to be very worried about. See a neurologist about it.
If you hear people you knows' voices in your head when you are around them... Ever thought of Psychic abilities? I can feel peoples' emotions all the time and can tell when things are about to go wrong...
just what i was gonna say! :D maybe your not crazy maybe you *okay this is gonna sound even crazier* but maybe you can hear people's thoughts? Do the words you hear make sense?
i dont know if u should starting believing the voices, if u are finding it hard to sleep due to voices, oyu coudl try a radio on as you try to go to sleep? maybe you coudl drown them out, i must a few years ago i was hearing voices i also knew the difference between reality and not reality, they have gone now they past, it could be caused by stress, i had a lot of stress due to "nasty" ppl, if it persists, i would recommend speaching to a doc

*ignore the name i have, was for other thread. :)
There is a medical term for what you have. I can't remember the name though. There's nothing wrong with you. Tell your doctor, it is a common thing.

schizophrenia
yea its pretty normal. it rarely happens to me but i usually hear it after a bunch of tension and pressure. mostly shouting
Assuming from you're story that it IS the truth. It sounds like schizophrenia. It's not what you'd say normal, but it's known, so that's definitely a plus. You can get treated and it would work - the medications they put you on....or you could deal with it like John Nash in "A Beautiful Mind."
AHA! so your saying that you were young...
its a phobia and phobias come from events you past to when you were young cuz your mind accepts evrything as it is!! i read that in a magazine
ps: i have it to :/
