Well, obviously hearing voices isn't "normal" in the sense that the vast majority of people do not experience it. However, it doesn't always mean your insane if you do. Since this is a fully anonymous place, I can say that I do experience it and have quite a bit over the years but I am actually quite a stable and "sane" person except for this. There is a sizable portion of people who experience this sort of thing, yet are not mentally unwell at all. Maybe they are criticizing you for drinking so much. One time I actually heard a voice telling me to not do drugs anymore. Think of it as a sort of inner guidance rather than insanity. Thinking of it as insanity often turns things ugly.
Is it normal that I hear things that aren't there?
