    We all hear voices in our head, it's the way imagination works, but it seems that some of us lack the mechanism to dim them down. The only way to do so is to have something more important to do than just think about them. If we put a hand on the table, we feel the table for a while until the mind decides that the feeling in unimportant, then it dims it out completely. The problem with virtual feelings is that we can artificially dim them up at will, in such a way that it can take any importance we wish. Let your mind chose your thoughts or your feelings, don't try to control them, don't try to give them any sense, and they will probably stop bothering you after a while.
    I try to control my thoughts and feelings, it is hard some times, my mind drifts and tests out the drifts , I think I just need to turn my internet off and stop listening to myself,  that way by ignoring the thoughts I have tested like the lotto, I know the thoughts are BS .   Sounds like a logical solution to me, it will also save about £30 + a month .

    I really don't care if you have weird thoughts and feelings... We all do as a matter of fact. I only care about you being the only legitimate authority over yourself....

    Please get back to me as soon you're reading this. I don't like at all when someone or something is attempting to sh1t with my cyber friends. >:(

    Thank you.

    I try to control my thoughts and feelings
    You're focusing on your subconscious thoughts and feelings, and you're trying to control them, which is an impossible task. Our subconscious mind must always be running freely, that's the way it works. That's why we dream. No need to control our dreams  when we sleep, so no need to control them either when we are awake. Just do whatever you want and your subconscious mind will help you to do it. You behave as if you had to control your steps when you're walking: that's unnecessary, and it can even prevent you from doing useful things. We can concentrate on anything we want while walking and all will be fine, because our mind takes subconsciously care of what we already know. Don't concentrate on old ideas, try concentrating on new ones and try them out as soon as you feel good about them. If it hurts when you do so or if most of the people tell you that you are wrong and you can't stand it, then try another idea. Our mind can't know if a new idea is good without testing it, but it loves having new ideas because when they work it pays, so it often artificially adds a good feeling to a new idea to incite us to test it for real. It doesn't work all the time, but that's the only way to make any progress. Mind is a lottery game that works 24/24 for free. Play with it instead of trying to control it. We can't control chance anyway. If you feel you make any progress, keep on thinking this way, otherwise try another way until you feel good. The only rule you have to obey is not hurting yourself or others.
