Did any of you feel as though you had an adult voice in your head as a child?

I did, it wasn't a voice coming from outside and talking to me, but an inner voice, it was like part of me was already grown up and would comment on things and people around me. It was something that kept me frorm making some mistakes, but also set me apart as "the sensible one". Being the sensible one often meant that any mistakes or just being a child were punnished more harshly than those who weren't expected to be sensible. I don't know how else to explain it, but it still pops up occaisionally, often when I'm in a crowd and people are playing silly head games, it shows me what the game is, so as I don't have to play it.

  • I Experience same or similar. I was kinda more mature as a child but now I’m more childish as an adult. I also have such voice.

    I wonder if NT have it too? People are so afraid to talk about thier self talk for fear of being thought mad which is so wrong, I often thing our self talk is our most authentic voice.

    I had a similar thing about people making assumptions about me because of my height.

    I don't think for me its about rehearsing as it's often not concious until it speaks, its like this part of me is lurking in the back of my head waiting it's time to speak. If it is some kind of inner moral compass, then for me it dosen't work very well as like Cpt Jack Sparrow's it always points to what I want rather than what is right. If it's a voice of concience, then why does it do nothing, but sit back with its feet up and watch me make horrible choices just so as it can torture me about them later and at great length?
