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 was an adult in my head from about 7 years of age (cannot remember much before that) I did not like being a child, and preferred the company of adults. The children at my school were like Duracell rabbits - running around the playground crazily laughing and being boisterous. At one point I wondered if I was the only real human child in school and they were all some sort of robots. Perhaps when they got home their batteries ran out and they just suddenly fell asleep?
