Why do the "voices" of auditory hallucinations?

......in people with schizophrenia, have to be so nasty and scary? I only heard about a few cases where the voices are positive and actually help their "host". I mean, its just, plainly ridiculous. They have to deal with a lot of symptoms, and of top of that, the voices have to be negative! Having hallucinations, is essentially horrible, aside from the negative symptoms, and other bad symptoms. Could the sickness actually be a demon? Which I don't think so because there are some people who do have positive voices. (Some people do believe the sickness is a demon possession)

Any opinion?

Update:

Well, nothing is better than having answers from actual schizophernics.

    I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia and going off my experience, when I first started hearing the voices when I could actually understand them they were positive at first and I started to believe I was invincible and everything was mine for the taking. That is what the voices kept going on about and than eventually it got very negative and started to believe all sorts of things and so on. And no I don't believe them to be demons

    The voices though in my opinion are not the worst part. The visual hallucinations and delusions are by far the worst I think... Think of seeing creatures and other things you could only imagine from horror movies or so on right in front of you and harassing you.. It is like being awake in a nightmare

    I'm on medication now and have been for almost 6 months now and have been in mental hospital twice now but I'm doing pretty good now, yet I still hear the voices but I can better handle them now while I'm on medication

    Well, yes it's demons, im a schizophrenic, here are some of the things that have happened.

    I saw "pan", an "alien", a ufo, shadow people, other shadows, a "light being", a ghost(not human/just looks like it/******** even put on old clothes to make it look like it/liars), snake/serpent/lion/dragon eyes, a huge serpent/also light, a huge siamese, a shadowy dog.

    I've been burned and shocked before. Both instances someone made an appearance, like at the same time of the painful shock a face made of light appeared, it had fangs, the "vampire" comes from the demon.

    Smells of sulfur. Looking at the clock at the same times over and over again, started with three. Visions of the future. Dreams with spirits in them, they sounded like "the fourth kind" beings, ten years before the movie came out, sounds like throat singing actually.

    I was just in the shower the other day and somebody was going "HEY! WE ARE TALKING TO YOU! THIS IS NOT YOU THINKING! WE ARE TALKING TO YOU!" And holy fuq it was coming out of my mouth for some reason!

    Now here is a good idea for everybody, why dont you just try it, try asking your leaders about them for a change, because some people down here most certainly know about them, and they are LYING to all of you. Look what you have been doing this whole time, you wake up and go to work, you wake up and go to work, you haven't seen anything, it's been work, party, and home, thats it. Fuqin a they know about them! The craziest part is they could prove it to you if they wanted to! But they want you dumb and extremely plyable.

    Okay, what else, in third grade, all the way back then, a voice told me that i was a schizophrenic, i had never heard of it before, i was also sleepwalking and having spirit dreams back then as well.

    During "psychosis", they mentioned things, resurrection, shapeshifting, weather being controlled, souls living in objects, angels being defeated, and that i would be tortured forever and ever. Im not religious and never have been, these things just showed up and began talking about this stuff, completely independent of me.

    Other hallucinations include: The sound of a "giant" walking toward me, an inner vision of wolves surrounding me, the serpent/lion/dragon eyes, a bus driver with faery ears/or elf, "devil cars" sanctioned automobiles that never run out of gas, the hounds of hell, voices talking about "mephisto"/i didn't know that he was real.

    Listen, we are being haunted, and hauntings don't just have to be in your house, they can also be within your mind and feelings, hallucinations have always been a part of it, always, the whole time, spirits can really mess with a person's head.

    I need some anasthetic and poison, just enough to kill me, because although not a disease, this is extremely terminal and severly painful, i can't believe that they won't offer me death, but i can totally see why they would not seeing as to who is really in charge down here. Of course they would not offer me death, they own this place and im completely boned.

    You know why the pills work? Like i said you can be haunted in your mind, guess what the pills are doing to my mind, incapacitating it, so although they have gone nowhere i am turned off in some ways.
