But those “inserted thoughts” are just random. Some times I believe I pick up on others thoughts or conversations out of physical hearing range. It’s weird.

I don't know how to explain it to be honest. I don't remember the thoughts after I have them really, except that sometimes it feels as though I'm seeing what's going on in other rooms of the apartment, like I know what's happening. Or I'll just have disturbing thoughts, but immediately forget them afterwards and just be left with a sense of unease and not feeling right. I've also been getting tactile hallucinations and feelings as though something sinister is constantly watching me, maybe the something inserting the bizarre thoughts into my head.
But you're right. They're not like intrusive thoughts. Those are different.
I wish I could explain myself better.
