All my life, i have experienced things, which for me have been normal and i;ve up until recently in the last couple years, always thought that other people experience the same things. For example, when i was about 3 or 4, i started hearing voices (or at least, that was as far back as i can remember hearing them...maybe i was born with them) anyways, the voices came in a form not exactly like they were outside of my body, as if someone else were in the room with me, but i was like there was a little speaker implanted inside my ear and sometimes the volume would be turned up so loud that it was startling. The voices say things which usually make noo sense, or they talk too fast and i can keep up with them. Sometimes i here them screaming or crying.
so anyways, up until about two years ago, i guess i always thought this was normal until i starting learning more about such things.

There are lots of things now which have also been going on most of my life and i still don;t know if they are concidered "normal" or not. For example, i talk to myself constantly. I have conversations with myself and imaginary people. When i am alone, i will talk out loud. These last few weeks, i have spent a lot of time with my cousin, who i havn't seen in years, and i will still be talking to her and spending time with her when she is not even here, if you know what i mean.
...I've always thought that everyone did this sort of thing, but now im not so sure. I know that everyone has thoughts inside there head and maybe talks to themselves a little bit, but where is the line drawn?

And then this whole thing with hearing voices and seeing things at night in the dark or when im starting to go to sleep. I've always had this. I hear strange voices at night, louder than the ones i hear durring the day when i am fully awake, and i have tons of visions when my eyes are closed or when the room is completly dark. I've heard from some people that this is somewhat normal, then again, i've heard from and equal number of people that it isn;t.

anyone have any opinions on this? thanx
