Also, another question instead of starting a new thread - what does hearing voices actually sound like?

Basically, I have no idea whether what I hear could be a hallucination or just what most people experience at some point. I've experienced it almost all my life (as far as I can remember).

I can be doing something, meditating, reading, watching a film, talking to someone...and a voice in my head (not external), generally from the right hand side, near the back of my cranial cavity, I will hear my voice (or someone I know well's voice) saying random words, like, "banana", "evil", "hmmm", "Paul (my name)," other people's names, too, and random stuff like "I know", "love," "I know, right?". Just literally random words, or sometimes random phrases. Sometimes telling me things that I would never have thought of, like answers to questions I didn't know consciously. I know I don't hear my thoughts because I can hear it at the same time as my own internal dialogue, and we can only think (with words) one thought at a time...

Does this happen to anyone else?

Thanks. Peace.
