The answer is, no I don't know if deaf schziods can hear voices in their
heads. Imagery, perhaps.
Ian Pallfreeman
Well, gee, thanks for that useful insight and fascinating discussion. Such
an exciting supplement to the normal several hundred lines on the topic of
"why I can't get a shag". We must do it again sometime.

Interesting. If they've ever heard a voice at all, I imagine they could,
though I believe the standard interpretation is that The Voices are just
thought processes many of us have but keep away from our centre of
conciousness by various means. This requires thought processes to be
basically a type of internal vocalisation, or at least to have an assoxiated
vocalisation process, which might not be the primary mode for the deaf.

Hunting out new books for me, I think.
I now have 11 shelves-worth of books on an 8 shelf bookcase. Naturally
all the books that arrive are by authors in the first half of the
alphabet, so I have to redo the shelves every time.

I don't know what I've done to upset him but it's good to see that he's
alive. I suppose you could look at it in this way, our DNA encodes the
operating system necessary to run our bodies, with some modifications
depending on how our plumbing is arranged. Many processes could interact
with each other. Sometimes some of these processes goes wrong thus the
mental illnesses some suffers.
I'm not schziophrenic, what's really wrong with me is that I've got a
phobia socialising with other people, alcohol and 'rugs suppresses it for
a while. I've always been like this all my life, and it's why it's hard
for me to have relationships with people in real life. Oddly enough it's
much easier to interact with people on the 'net.

Nope. The recent earthquakes did that for me. Half a shelf of SF hidden

Not so surprising. Anymore I'd RATHER socialize on the net.
That's probably cause I'm weary from 30 years of being a wild child.
Lately I don't even want to pick up the phone.
Mine isn't depression; I KNOW depression, yes I do.
Once you go out, though, don't you end up having a good time?

At first, yes. But then I spend a lot of time fighting the fear, and it
causes a lot of stress. Sometimes I have to make an excuse to leave
because the fear's getting too hard to control. I usually end up really
depressed afterwards.

Well of course. From what I understand of you from here with only your
messages and others' references to guide me, you seem like a perfectly
normal and likeable bloke. I also know that you are deaf so while you
can be that normal bloke here because hearing doesn't much enter into
it, in the ordinary world you are at a great disadvantage and obliged to
give great thought to simple social situations that the rest of us would
deal with automatically. Just don't let it get you down, you are as good
as the next man.

I think that's not just a gross oversimplification, but also false.
The "OS that runs us" is as much an emergent property as consciousness: it's
as good as accidental - it's just that the alternatives aren't viable so we
only see the successes.

Er, are you talking about IanP? Perhaps he's not upset at all, he's
just been busy doing things that don't involve emailing you? This
happens, you know.

Sci-fi. Although some of it only vaguely brushes one edge of the
genre, seemingly classified as such because the author previously
wrote a book which /was/ sci-fi.

Well, the busy bit is true -- I was planning to post a ranting summary
of The Trials Of The Talosian Servers last night, but I'm glad I didn't,
because it just keeps getting worse. I can grin about it right now, but
I think I need a big red flashing DANGER sign to wear on the bus home.
Anyway, miss, it was him wot didn't email me.
>This

The problem is dealing with the "right, what next" syndrome when the supply
of new toys runs out, after a few weeks spent hammering them into shape.
I really enjoy work, it's a shame I so rarely get to do it in my job.

But of course. As the Psychos say, "you're never alone with a headful
of relatives". That's why I wonder what it's like not having voices.

They do that. Sometimes I just think "well, fuck the lot of you", and I
do what I want. Although it's difficult to know just what that is,
especially if you're a bloke in a long-term relationship.

How do you get by with work? Since you change jobs so often, don't you
get the same anxieties about meeting new people that way? Or is it only
in social circles?

But very dangerous. Yopu become so isolated from the real world, and you
start to lose touch with reality.

I've managed to hold down the same job for about three years; most of that
was working from home, so the problems weren't that apparent. Before that
I used to change jobs quite often.

Well, not that I don't want it, as I have most of it, but I think I
