I am a schizophrenia paranoia patient diagnosed over 40 years ago. I don't know that the "voices" do this. The first voices I experienced were associated with an almost overwhelming and ethereal feeling of love and made a statement that they had the ability to do something that seemed impossible and undesirable but nice. It was only after I panicked at the overwhelming immensity of what was happening to me that they started getting ugly.
I have known many schizophrenics and my impression of those who would talk about what they were experiencing was that they were afraid and the voices were unwelcome. I haunt this category in hopes of getting other schizophrenics to open up about what they have experienced because I truly believe the voices are not a product of their own minds and I want to explore with them what could be the source of the voices, which is unknown to medical science.

Examples of Hallucinations --Hallucinations are as authentic as the different journey to the guy with schizophrenia. As many as 70% pay attention voices, at the same time as a lesser form have seen hallucinations. --Auditory hallucinations may well be the two contained in the guy's head or externally. while exterior, they sound as authentic as an surely voice. on occasion they arrive from no obvious source, different situations they arrive from authentic people who do no longer surely say something, different situations a individual will hallucinate sounds. --while human beings pay attention voices interior their heads, that's as though their inner suggestions are not to any extent further on my own. the hot voices can refer to a minimum of one yet another, refer to themselves, or remark on the guy's movements. maximum persons of the time the voices are unfavorable. Examples of Delusions the main straightforward sort of fantasy or fake ideals are paranoid delusions. those are persecutory in nature and take many varieties: --Overpowering, intense feeling you're being watched, observed, and spied on (monitoring contraptions, implants, hidden cameras) --thinking that some thing is controlling you- i.e. an digital implant --thinking that folk can study your suggestions/ or administration your suggestions --thinking that your suggestions are being broadcast over the radio or television

Their voices don't typically tell them to do bad things, rather the voices say bad things to, or about them.

well to me we wouldn't notice a person doing good things because they seem normal and the bad things are what people really take notice of.

They don't always tell them to do bad things. I know someone who had schisophrenia and was thought everyone was out to get them.
