I'm 18. And for the past couple of years I've been most introspective about the inner workings of my head. And I've noticed something kinda odd. I have arguments with my self in my head. And not just the casual debate of throwing an idea back and forth. But actual arguing, with yelling and heated words. It often starts as a simple diversionary conversation in my mind, to keep from getting bored, between two "parts" of myself. But then other voices in my head start joining in. They're all ME, but I'm not fully in control of them. It can get kinda loud at times.So is it normal? Or am I crazy? I mean I KNOW I'm crazy when it comes to other things, but is this in specific crazy?

    Arguing with yourself is normal. lol

    Seriously, internal self talk is normal, and it sounds that as raucous as your internal gang fights get, there is a part of you that is entertained by this. You said you start it out of boredom.

    Having that level of imaginative control - to start an imaginary conversation (argument) and have it grow into this huge other thing with a life of it's own, is not crazy, it is a skill.

    Imagine if you were to channel such a skill into creative pursuits. You could use it to effortlessly write books, screenplays, and troubleshoot problems and come up with solutions that come from your unconscious.

    You want to train this skill to stop or suspend on command. But when using it creatively you would want to let it run it's course. Learn various forms of meditation and hypnotic trance with exercises to access and engage your imagination.

    PSYCHOANALYTIC YOU ARE AND VERY HEALTHY! This is actually normal the voices have been given a name Id, Ego, and Superego. These are the voices of your so called "conscience" and are the voices that make EVERY DECISION FOR YOU. If you are hearing them it means you DO NOT REPRESS your thoughts much that is good! These voices are not meant to agree and if they do at all times there is something wrong and you should seek help. The Id is usually what we consider the bad guy I know this sounds like you might be crazy but your not this happens to everyone those who repress thoughts these arguments happen in a more subconscious manner. but here's a video that's funny and all about the arguments so take a look!=)

    Yes I have the same thing too, it not really an issue unless you can't control it. Just do what I do, whenever you have time meditate and passivly "watch" your thoughts to find the inner true voice.
