Can somebody explain me about the voices...
Whats the difference between hearing voices and talking to yourself?
Sometimes I can be sitting down and i hear something talking to me (In my head) and telling me nasty jokes about somebody and i ended up laughing about it. This happens sometimes , not all the time. Can anybody explain this to me? I'm very confused.

When you talk to yourself, you are creating the voices in your head, thinking them up yourself. You have control over them and you know what your internal voice is going to say next.
Hearing voices, which can be either external, or internal, are out of your control. When they are inside your head, it is like having thoughts that are not your own thoughts...like telepathy. They just keep talking and you can't control them. Most of the voices i hear are internal. They are very disturbing. They make me feel sick. They are completly seperate from my own internal dialogue. I sometimes hear voices outside my head too. These sound completly real, as though there are really other people in the room with me. Sometimes it takes me a while to figure out that they are not real. The other day i was sitting on the sofa and i started hearing a evil sounding man talking really fast up near the ceiling.
It sounds like what you are experiencing is hearing voices, that is if the voices in your head are beyond your control and not your own internal voice. Do they bother you? if so, you should seek treatment.
