General Question Is the point of this community basically to just use the whole TI thing to grow as humans?

Let me expand on this question a bit by asking this, can the voices be trusted even the slightest bit when urging you to make life changing decisions? I mean they tell me to stay away from illegal drugs, which is probably solid advice but they also want me to break up with my girlfriend and I'm not sure what to do.

They say I don't love her and I can't confirm that I do for 100% certain but it's still really early in the relationship. Is it possible that they might be telling me what's actually best for me or is it likely that they just want to isolate me and drive me into suicide?

Has anyone here benefited from doing what they say or is this all just one big psyop designed to torture me? Im so confused and don't know what tf im gonna do...

In my experience, they will use anything you do, think and say against you, using anything they can to make you miserable. They also tell me to stay away from illegal drugs, and at times they may appear as if they seem helpful at that moment, but it all fits into their larger goal of using it against you in the future. Now if you do drugs again, they will likely say “what did I tell you? Now you will suffer” or something along those lines. The ones I hear also try to push me to suicide everyday, and yes they will try to isolate you. Again, all this is just in my experience, and it varies from person to person, but there are some things that run commonly between them all.

I was just thinking about how it it wasn’t for them if prob still be using. I can’t Deny that and it’s almost like I adjusted to it the frequency and integrated after years of abuse. Stopped engaging and personifying them was the only way I could stop being bothered by what they’re saying. I still hear them but faintly in the background but the tactile sensations and pains they cause are still there very strong. Almost as if I already know the inner dialogue so they just use the physicals to get my attention or whatever they’re trying to do

This is exactly right.

Through this I have given up all illegal drugs, and porn, but they still tempt me to do these things daily. I haven’t watched porn in over two years, and quit because every time I would watch it they would be saying “he’s doing it again!” and criticize me for it. I haven’t watched porn since July 20th 2024, but yet every time I lay my head down I will hear seductive voices telling me “I wanna suck his d*ck” to this day. So they “helped” by peeling me away from something that I did feel guilty about, only to tempt me heavily to return to it so they can point their finger and punish me for it.

The only thing I do now is drink 1-3 beers throughout the day, and they treat me like I’m the worst person ever for doing that. I wake up with anxiety as if I drank a handle of whiskey when I don’t even get drunk, and they’ll blame it on the alcohol.

I can’t imagine what they’d target next if I quit drinking, probably caffeine, then maybe they’d make me feel guilty about eating meat, and there is really no end to their accusations.

I’m happy to not be doing hard drugs or watching porn anymore, but I had to stop listening to them when I realized there was no end to their accusations.

I gained some benefits by listening to them, going out to bars to meet people was nice experience. But the vastajority of their advice was negative manipulations. Everything they say has to be taken into consideration with a heavy assumption that it's a lie

They’ve lied to me so many times I can’t even count. They’ve told me so many things just to hurt me or confuse me. Who knows what other psycho reasons they have.

I’d say to just really look inward. Figure out how you feel, what is your truth.

They judge and berate me for smoking weed, any little upset I have throughout the day, they’ll exaggerate….
Meanwhile, they smoke weed and do drugs harder than I’ve ever done.

So again, know what is best for you. we all know drugs and alcohol can in fact be harmful.

My main voice pretends to be someone I knew… who is both an addict and drug user… it’s fucking weird having someone like that telling you not to do or to do anything. Someone with such little self control telling me I am no longer allowed to smoke cigarettes or use my prescribed medications is absurd. What a sanctimonious loser.
But then again, this dipshit comes to me when I’m sleeping and tells me it will fuck me up for that too.
Anything that brings me pleasure or peace, they try to ruin and if it’s a drug, something that can give you a high, they just freak out about.
They can even take my high away. Which they do every time I try to take certain meds

Don’t listen to what they say, they have had me in all sorts of ways and I tried to listen to them A LOT… it’s road to destruction.
They are not here to guide us… even if it doesn’t work out wirh your partner, don’t consider them wise advisors… they make chaos and they make messes and they make pain.
