Do people who hear voices always go insane?

In todays culture every time someone hears voices they are considered crazy. But are there actually sane people out there who can hear voices in their head. Can you act like a normal human and just walk around your daily life cause you accepted these voices? Or do all peope just go insane.

Answer:
I haven't been carried out to the mental institute yet. There are lots of people who hear voices. And my voice just happens to be a friendly one. It's not really me talking to myself in my head. It's just...like a whisper. A "consiounce" if you would like to call it that. And it talks to me. I usually don't talk back to it, but the weirdest thing is...he shows up in my dreams, as different people. The same voice in a woman's body, a man's body, a dog's body, and once even as a lamp. I'm not going crazy, and there are people who are perfectly normal who walk around and hear voices all the time.

It I hear my wife's voice much more...I'll go insane!



Sorry, just thought that was too funny to not say.
people who hear vioces in their heads ARE insane.
Depends alot of people here voices because they are over medicated. You know they give you a daily perscription if you have an ingrown toenail these days.
what about the ones like Joan of Arc? they are considered martyrs by their religion, not nutcases.
at first people use the voices to their advantage, like something that tells them what to do, and they are fine. but eventually things will fall apart and yes, they will go crazy
No. People who hear voices in their head ARE insane, not going.
Um...usually people who hear voices are already insane. If you are talking about inner dialogue, that's different. We all do that. But voices? Koo - Koo
So far the answerers you have had don't seem to know how to deal with your question. I would not take any answers about such a topic from the public as insane or not, unless from a professional.
Soft voices like your conscience could be you - your conscience. But yes, some people who hear voices would not be considered insane particularly if it's supported by your culture. Also, regardless of culture, if it's not a problem for you, don't make it one.
THERE ARE A LOT OF WANT TO BE DOCTORS OUT TODAY.
