This keeps happening to me.
I have pretty good hearing. I hear it all the time. It’s not an hallucination, and it is about me and I am pretty much fed up with people.

No it’s not an unusual belief.
I’m medicated and don’t suffer from hallucinations anymore. People just seem to hate me.

It’s possible, but unlikely. It is a common or typical paranoid symptom. Ive experienced it. There was a time in my early 20s I would often confront people about what they were saying, and people would be confused and deny it.

It’s not a hallucination, if it is actually a symptom you are experiencing, but something like paranoid reality interpretation. It’s like low level or even subthreshold psychosis. The people are actually talking most likely, maybe even are looking in your direction kinda with peripheral vision, but you have to acknowledge in most situations in close P2P interactions if you are somewhat afar you will only receive a bad signal: noise. You are interpreting badly most likely.
It is possible though, it is not a bizarre delusion. People do talk smack about others in passing. Are you in a place where psychosis may have made you a pariah? Or are you virtually unknown? No need to answer.You seem outwardly normal, so as not to provoke anyone’s taunts.

You might be right about it not being hallucinations. In my case though, if i overhear people talking out and about, especially when im inside and there are people talking outside, i usually assume they are talking about me. I usually have the sense and insight to get over it or ignore it or rationalise with myself that im just ocerthinking/ being paranoid. So its not a huge issue for me anymore.

I had a moment of clarity and realized it’s probably just in my head.
I snapped out of it.
Today is 24/7/2026, and I read something about sleep, so I thought this meant I should stay awake 24/7, then I started to reaffirm this by misinterpreting bible quotes that say you should stay awake
I was just taking a smoke and realized, what the ■■■■ is my mind doing? And I snapped out of it

It’s probably that I pulled an all nighter to go to the gym at 9 am when I am usually sleeping.

When I cut my meds in half sometimes I mishear neutral words as insults but know its in my head, if I stop meds completely I would probably confront them and lose insight
