Am I Really Hearing Voices? - My Progresses 68

I'm obsessed with particular thoughts, sometimes wrong thought, so often that I sometimes say these thoughts to myself, or feel as if these thoughts were echoing in my head.

 Sometimes, I think that this make little difference from I'm hearing voices although no one is speaking. I sometimes think, I have thought, "Do I have serious mental illness?" for hundreds of times since I was in high school.

 I now wonder that "Do I actually hear voices when I'm obsessed with a particular thought and can not help saying to myself or the thought echo in my head?". I don't think that I "actually" hear something related to my thought. Still, it's horrible when I can't get rid of some horrible (and usually wrong) thought such as everything I speak is valueless or all that I can give to people I can relate to is only harm.

 To cope with my obsessive thoughts, I'm thinking that there are two keys. One is to recognize my wrong thought as wrong, and the other is the idea obsessing my head is what I'm thinking, no matter wrong it may be.

Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
