Narrator in my head

Since this is the only place I’m comfortable talking about my weird experiences… I have a narrator in my head, and the narrator is also my audience. It’s rather difficult to explain. Obviously I know there’s no one there but when I’m stressed or sad or I fail at something, the narrator makes fun of me or tells me ‘told you so’.

Now I don’t hear any voices but the narrator is there, I used to fight it before and, you know, deny that it was there or adjust my behavior but it was draining and causing low mood… I used to try to adjust the way I acted to impress the narrator/audience but now I just let it be and do whatever I want, life is easier that way but it’s still upsetting, like someone is spying on me seeing if I’m acting right or making mistakes.

Also the narrator points at me, I don’t see it but I just know it, points at me and shows people, but obviously they’re no people but I feel them at the background.

This is just one of my many experiences. I feel like if I tell my loved ones these things that happen to me they’ll think I’m crazy… so I just keep things like this to myself, but it’s very lonely…

  • I don't know if my experience is quite the same as what you're experiencing. I have a narrator in my head, which speaks with my voice. When I'm reading, it narrates what I'm reading. When I am thinking, it narrates what I'm thinking. It is what I refer to as my internal voice.

    If what you've described is bothering you, have you considered discussing it with your GP, local community mental health team, etc?
