As a psychologist, I've always wondered if some people hear voices that tell them good things. Voices that build them up, give them good ideas, and help reassure them. It seems weird that everyone who hears voices only hears disturbing ones.

Maybe one of the things a good voices say is that they're not allowed to tell anybody.

@drmaddkap
Maybe hearing good things just doesn’t cause the problems hearing bad things does. So nobody complains. There’s still a stigma to hearing any voices though, so maybe that’s why we don’t hear more about the good ones.

@drmaddkap Actually, some research has shown that, statistically, westerners are (historically) more likely to experience auditory hallucinations with negative biases, while easterners and Africans are (historically) more likely to have auditory hallucinations with positive biases suggesting some cultural influence on the phenomenon.
