Auditory Hallucinations as a form of Harassment

[Nous]

Could Auditory Hallucinations be thought of in terms of as a type of harassment as in theory voices goad and harass us daily? We have to live our lives with what to me seems like a death Steph Twitter storm, spewing out Narcissistic abuse towards us, some of this abuse mimics emotional blackmail, entrapment, Bait &Switch grooming techniques.
It could be thought of as a strange form of revenge by a hidden foe of Witches or sick Bitches.

It occurred to me that being on the receiving end of 'Voices' seems to draw a comparison to Cyber Abuse/Hazing/mobbing by its design and function.

Would any voice hearer agree with this personnel observation as many will experience different varying degrees of harassment, also could you have nice harassment, for the ones that say their 'voices' are a rich source of encouragement, as there will be of course.

So, would it be madness to class the 'Voices' or Auditory Hallucinations as a form of unwanted constant Harassment?

Also of some interest would be the idea that the 'Voices' in a sense Stalk us as they are always there, even in the loo.
So would the concept of stalking & harassment be applied to the experience of hearing voices?

I don’t get voices myself, but I get what you mean. The way you’ve described it — always there, poking at you, sometimes cruel — yeah, that does sound a lot like harassment. The stalking idea makes sense too, because you can’t really get away from it, even in private moments.

The cyber abuse comparison fits as well. It’s that same feeling of someone trying to get under your skin, twist your emotions, and mess with your head. I guess for people who hear more positive stuff, it wouldn’t feel like harassment… but if it’s mostly negative, I think calling it that is fair.
