if you pick up sounds and voices that others can't, are you psychic, mentally ill, normal or gifted?

Answer 1

You are describing a psychic quality, especially when you add sounds. Psychics can hear the oddest things that no one else can. One test for psychic hearing is to ring a bell and see how long after it has been rung can one still hear it. I hear termites where no one else can. Psychics are using more than just their ears to hear.

Unfortunately, many people are mistakenly diagnosed as mentally ill and even institutionalized for having psychic gifts. Just hearing odd sounds or people talking to you does not make you mentally ill. Thoughts of hurting yourself or others or thinking that you are someone you obviously are not is another matter.

When you are most relaxed and quiet in mind is when your hearing is at full potential. Follow through with the sounds that are heard and verify their source. And respond to the voices for more clarification. Do a little detective work and all will be resolved.

Answer 2

In my humble opinion, you will get lots of people whom will not take your question seriously and some whom will...I am one whom will. I feel that if you can pick up voices and sounds that others cannot, you may have special gifts. Now if the voices, as I agree with another person whom anwered this question for you said, I agree that if the voices you hear are telling you to do harm to yourself or others or are out to harm you, you need to seek help. But honestly, you didnt mention harmful voices, so I am more apt to think you have a special gift and it is a good thing. Many people have gifts of hearing spirit guides, angels and other lovely beings...Just listen to your heart and you will know the right answer...Hope that helped a bit!

Answer 3

It depends on the context and the culture you live in. If it is part of your religion to believe this, then it may be considered appropriate.

I'm not sure what to say about psychics and the like, but a lot of people believe in that kind of thing, so it's probably not anything bad as long as they are not hurting themselves or others.

If you are hearing voices that talk to you about you're being God or Jesus, that people are coming after you, or that you are being commanded to hurt yourself or others, or if the voices are so intense it keeps you from being able to do whatever your normal daily activities are, you probably need psychiatric treatment.

Answer 4

Hello. In my opinion the normal answers are: you have very good hearing, others don't pay attention, or your mind is picking up things that others can't. The other answers are: you have schizophrenia, you are psychic, your crazy, you have a piece of metal in your head that allows you to pick up stray radio signals, or you could have a magnificent gift that if perfected could get you a lot of money and fame.

Answer 5

The "voices" that you are hearing are indeed spirits talking to you. You must be careful though, because there are good and bad spirits in this amazing world and will try to do things that may hurt you or someone else. Pay attention to the voices because they just might be your aid. My friend has voices that talk to her and tell her people's most inner feelings so she knows how to react to people's situations and how they feel and my mother is psychic herself. She is able to speak with spirits and read tarot cards. So just be careful and do what you think is right. =]

Answer 6

We are all psychic, but for the majority the gift or the belief has been long knocked out of them. Educated out is another way of looking at it. Many professional psychics have grown up in a psychic friendly environment. Perhaps a grand-parent or parent with the knowledge has helped bring the extra sense out in the open and encouraged its use. But there are as many practicing psychics who have not had the benefit of caring psychic guidance and who have still managed to develop and hone this natural extra sense.

Answer 7

You could be experiencing some of the symptoms of schizophrenia, or, if you have been dabbling with the occult, you could be affected by demons (seriously, many people don't believe they exist, but many sane, spiritual people -- particularly Christians -- believe that they are very real).

Answer 8

Perhaps you have a hightened sense of hearing. Without all of the facts, I can't tell you which of the above you are.

Answer 9

most likely mentally ill. see a doctor

Answer 10

Keep it to yourself unless those voices are telling you to do something destructive. Could be you just have sensitive ears (I can hear electrons moving through my television-seriously!)
