I have this issue frequently within my own mind. I accept it for what it is; though I cannot claim to understand it in the slightest. Sometimes I find humor in it, but usually it is a harmless thing. There have been a few times when I have had to angrily fight back or denounce the other "me" for going too far, or making me have thoughts of things that are *not* me or part of me.

It is more often simple statements, and responses between the two "me's"
Sometimes I get angry at the other thought-maker, because it says (thinks) about wishing people were dead. I tell it that isn't true, so stop saying it. Once in a while, it doesn't stop the first time.

I do find, however, that when I put strong emotions (anger) in my response, it usually stops. I think at it, "I don't feel that way, I don't believe those things, and I don't want it in my f**ing head! Shut the f** up!" and it has always ceased the dark words, thus far anyway. I hope it doesn't ignore me in the future.

I don't know how to describe it perfectly, but I felt compelled to respond because it sounds similar to my frequent issues. Don't feel alone, because I know I can relate directly.

It should be okay if you simply accept it, and let it be as it is. I used to think of things as "gifts," and that helps to make sense of things. Now as I am older, I am quicker to accept and try to understand my "quirks" or at least get through them until I can find some way to 'fix' it. Unless the voices are actually convincing you of things you wouldn't normally do, then I say why not try to at least enjoy some of it?

PS, do you have many friends? I do not know if it is a way for your mind to keep stimulating itself and not die off, but it seems like it could be a mechanism in your mind to protect it like it does with traumatic experiences, etc.

I have no friends, and I see that there could be a possible connection between the activity in my brain and the lack of external communication and social experiences. I don't know, but that would be interesting if true!
