It's obviously cannabis-induced schizophrenia... Lay off the weed and get help because it will make everything completely incomprehensible, your life completely meaningless and it will slowly but surely make you stupider through brain degeneration.
Schizophrenia isn't dissimilar to prison.

Yep. It's quite normal for weed to intensify paranoia. Especially if you experience these "voices" when sober as well.
Try taking a little break from blazing, and see if your situation is getting any better. I'm having a bit of trouble grasping what you're talking about as far as neighbors talking about your personality.

Mr sniffles, you need to lay off the dr00gz for a while by the sound of it.

it's called paranoia, and he probably should stop smoking reefer, if he really cares about what people passing by his dorm room are saying... (which aren't about him, and if it was, who cares? jump out of your room OP, and see what's going on, maybe?)

i don't smoke weed much at all, i smoked yesterday one time after about a 2 week hiatus. i should also probably stop with all stimulants.
do sedatives and stuff have a rebound effect after you stop using them (causing things like this to excarbate?)

oh, true say.
yeah, and stop worrying what other people might be saying behind closed doors... and if you can persistently hear shit that you can't seemingly just put on the back burner... then DEFINITELY stop using the stims.

Glad to hear it seems like you've "fixed" your problem. I still think that if this ever happens again, you should tell a therapist rather than the shroomery. It's nice to know for sure it's just the weed making you paranoid. No, sedatives don't have delayed effects, but benzos cause serious rebound anxiety

Yes. Benzodiazepines cause pretty extreme rebound anxiety & paranoia if you take them daily for as little as even 2 weeks. Depends on the dose of course. Exactly which sedatives were you taking?

sometimes i take benzos (diazepam, lorazepam, etizolam) recreationally (no blackouts) but i'm pretty sure they all do the same function more or less (6 receptors different binding affinities etc)
opiates
but these are usually weekend use because i had to focus on school and stuff.\
theres a christmas break coming up, i need to get myself things to do inside my home to get my mind off things. i was thinking occasional using but nothing to become habit forming.

Everything we experience is made up in our head.
You do not actually see with your eyes or hear with your ears or feel with your skin. All those sensations actually occur within your own mind and you only think you see light for instance. I'll explain sight and all the other senses are just like it.
It is actually your eyes that recieve light and focus it on your optic nerve, which transmits electrical signals to your visual cortex and you believe you are seeing things outseide of you. But that's the illusion. Everything you think you see outside of yourself is actually being seen inside of yourself in the form of electrical signals in your visual cortex only a few centimenters. There is no light in your brain, it is completely dark.
So what is it that we think itn't real in our mind? Only that which we don't project into an illusion seeming to be around us.
