The las time anyone asked me if I hear voices was in jail. I drove drunk, I admit it. Woke up in jail and the gaurd came around and I said "Could I get a cup of coffee and a .45 ?".
So I wind up in a room with this guy aling me questions, "Do you hear voices ?". I said "All the time". He asked "What do they say ?", I replied "Well the last one asked if I hear voices and what they say".
I can't really say if this is a hijack or not, but I didn't do it. Hearing voices in your mind is not, in and of itself, abnormal. First of all there are enough illiterate and semiliterate people around who have no choice but to think in the lingual sense, for example moving their lips when they read. And don't count these people as stupid, this is a cognitive issue, not of intelligence. I could tell you stories, for one, I know a Man who did not learn to read until he was in his forties, but he was already making fifty grand a year, and this was twenty years ago. It has been said that sometimes people who can't read have to be smarter to cover up the fact.
Anyway, I am kinda following the trend here because I don't get what the point of the thread is. I am not saying that it is pointless, not at all, but the title does not seem to match the content of the OP.
But it appears we are now on hearing voices. I remember the voices of dead loved ones, and sometimes in that semi-sleep state or if I get off to daydreaming, I can hear them again. But that is memory. However as an avid audiophile I can tell you that when you were really there and heard it in person, and perhaps in a dream or just in a state of resting the mind, when your mind plays it back, no speaker could ever come close to the fidelity.
I can identify two problems with this, one would be the person can't distinguish between fantasy and reality, and another is that they could think these voices are some divine guidance.
For anyone with those problems I got two statements.
One, if the voices are of people you never met, it's like anyone else you never met, don't trust them, especially if they tell you to kill someone. Even if it is the voice of someone you actually met, and they really did tell you to kill someone, don't do it unless you want to. Fuck them, they want them dead let them go kill them.
Two, USUALLY when you hear voices, it is accompanied by other circumstance, such as holding a telephone, listening to a radio or watching someone's lips move. Something like that. Of course with people living in apartments and converted houses there are exceptions.
I do indeed have a perceptual diffculty, I can't read or write. Of course I typed this, but I could never write it out. If I tried it would likely be illegible. What's more is I can't read cursive writing. This is literally something I forgot.
But that is it basically, I have no problem with reality vs. fantasy.
Tellya this though, if I started talking to a shrink, not only would he stop charging me, I bet I could get him to start paying me :-)
Going through the steps in my own mind about taking over the world. I thought it out, and as far as I am concerned this was nothing but training for a strategist. Just a mental exercise.
Knowing the difference between fantasy and reality is the key. For example if you ever saw the movie "The Girl, The Gold Watch And Everything" it may have stuck in your mind. I liked it. Guy inherits this gold watch while his brothers and whover get millions. Finds out the watch has a button on it that stops time. I thought it a good concept, worthy of a series. Once they figured out how it worked they played around a bit and realized just what it was, but then they had also inherited enemies.
I went through a million promulgations in my mind about what I would do. First of all the enemies would be dead real quick. Then how to take over the world. How would that be accomplished with such a device ? You can actually entertain yourself thinking about it, and you can even strike up conversations about it. But everyone knows it is just a fantasy, hopefully.
Think of it, you can stop time but you can move objects. As much as I hate to say it, but is true, the frst thing would be a couple of bank heists. But can I do that ? The way it would be done someone who is innocent will have to fall on the axe so to speak. Missing money is not taken lightly. You would be sending an innocent, possibly even honest Man to jail, when in a way it is you who belongs there.
Back to the drawing board.
Anyway, I have rambled sufficiently now, but I would still like to ask this. What do "some people's children" have to do with hearing voices ?
