" Tell yourself little things like "If I pretend they aren't there by calming my heart beat and act as if I don't see them, they will think they have the wrong person." This helps me a lot.

I also try to build a relationship with the voices trying to make them more easly to live with. I try to not return the hate and let them get me so angry or hateful and I try making other conversation or dodging things verbablly. I just pretend they're horrible roomates that follow me everywhere and i'm stuck with them untill further notice. "

" I like the idea of them being horrible roommates...

How about pretending your like a celebrity or something and thats why your being watched. Just strut around like your famous or something? "
