Everyone’s experience of hearing voices is different. The voices can vary in how often you hear them, what they sound like, what they say, and whether they’re familiar or unfamiliar.

Can I have 2 inner voices?

Childhood inner voices can also come in the form of imaginary friends. You might have inner thoughts, but this doesn’t pose the same type of inner speech where you can “hear” your own voice expressing them. It’s also possible to have both an inner voice and inner thoughts, where you experience them at intervals.

What do voices in your head sound like?

There can be “voices that are more thought-like,” says Jones, “voices that sound like non-human entities, voices that are perceived as the direct communication of a message, rather than something you’re actually hearing.” Voices aren’t always voices, either. They can sound more like a murmur, a rustle or a beeping.

Is it possible to have multiple voices in my head?

From what info you’ve given, it is not psychotic in nature and would not be schizophrenia. Those voices would be sensed by you as though they were coming from outside your head, through your ears. An auditory hallucination. Multiple voices internally are not hallucinations.

Why does my voice sound different when I speak to myself?

So when you speak, you hear both the sound coming through the air and you also hear the sound of your bones vibrating. And that is why, when you speak yourself, you think you sound different to what you sound like when people play something back if having recorded you earlier, because what you’re actually hearing is the two sounds superimposed.

Could multiple voices in my head be psychotic hallucinations?

Those voices would be sensed by you as though they were coming from outside your head, through your ears. An auditory hallucination. Multiple voices internally are not hallucinations. That’s not psychotic, it’s dissociative. I agree with Nancy and Jane on this. It COULD point to DID.

Are multiple voices with distinct personalities that you dislike?

Multiple voices with distinct personalities who you dislike…sounds like DID to me. If they answer you or talk back to you, as in you can have a coherent conversation with them, that’s most likely DID. With schizophrenia, I’m pretty sure that’s not possible. They’re just talking AT you.
