Is it normal that I have a critical voice in my head?

  • You have taught yourself, through repetition of good deeds, to try to analyze if the deed was 'purely for being a respectable' or not.

    From years and years of doing this, you now 'think' you are hearing your own thoughts (in your mind) as someone talking to you. Guess what? There is no voice, its just your mind playing tricks on you.

    Here's a story which scared me for years.
    When I finally moved out of home and lived with friends I could hear them breathing (loudly) at night. I couldn't wait to finally have one night alone, just me and no one else snoring or breathing loudly or anything.
    Finally the night came when it was just me. Hooray!
    BUT, I STILL heard the breathing!! (This is seriously scary shit)
    I tried my best to work out who was breathing? I even held my own breadth just to make sure it wasn't me.
    But, every time it was just me alone at night, yep on came that dreaded breathing.

    Since I honestly thought I was going mad or possessed. I generally got girlfriends quickly and often. In my mind if someone was there, I didn't feel crazy.

    Finally, after a few years it just dawned on me. (I may have spoken to a friend about it, I can't remember now, although generally I told no one)
    Well, when I was a kid growing up I shared a room with my brother. And at night, guess what? He breathed loudly!

    Since we shared a room for probably 15yrs, my brain had just come so use to his breathing that I heard it when he wasn't even there! Its truly amazing what our brain can do.

    I think it took about another 15yrs to actually stop hearing that dreaded breathing (by the way it only seemed to happen once in a while, although especially whilst alone most irritatingly!)

    Now the only problem is that damn computer fan noise Lol

    ie Normal, not supernatural.
