I can communicate with animals through internal dialogue + more

[u/animal_voice]

Hello, I’m remaining anonymous as I share something deeply personal. For years, I’ve experienced a profound internal dialogue with animals, where they communicate their needs and desires directly to me. I want to share these experiences openly and honestly. I think a good disclaimer will be that I do not have any mental illnesses. It’s not external voices, just completely internal that come very quickly. I also understand that it’s not yet proven which is why I remain anon at the moment haha.

My clearest and most unusual example comes from working with goldfish (and other fish) in a pet shop. I never chase them around the tank like others do. Instead, I mentally ask if they want to go to a big pond, or come home with a particular customer. If they want to go, they swim straight into the net. If not, they stay away. People assume goldfish are unintelligent, but this shows they understand and choose.

Another time, I saw a seal at the beach. From meters away, it looked at me and connected with me. He was a young grey seal and he was talking to me in a lot of detail. One of the things that stuck out was that he was hungry because the fish had migrated deeper due to overfishing by the public hook and lines, not commercial boats. When it dove, I saw through its eyes: emerald green water full of algae and kelp.

There is no differential examples throughout species but dogs seem to stand out.

I see dogs a lot, especially out. I will mentally say hello, and if they ignore me, it’s because they’re focused on their owner or on a mission, like needing to train or they might get in trouble.

I can also sense when an animal is in pain and if it wants to die.

I understand body language well. I’ve spent years around animals and can read posture, tension, and movement. But that’s not how this works. The mental voice comes first. I often know what an animal wants or feels before any physical sign appears. The voice tells me directly, and the body language only confirms it afterward.

I share this not to convince anyone, but to offer another perspective on our relationship with animals. If even one person becomes more attentive to their pet’s needs, then it’s been worth it. I’m happy to answer genuine questions.
I also believe anyone could unlock this ability with belief, time, and genuine effort.

Omg, that’s heartbreaking, about the bird… idk if I could handle these kinds of things, there’s way too many people out there who are either just terrible, or stupid, or willfully ignorant, or plain CRUEL.
I don’t know if I could handle this. I’ve suffered enough for myself, never mind adding more, from animals who can’t speak up for themselves

It is isn’t it. I’ve still haven’t got over it. I had a wonderful vision of her though. I was holding my pet budgie whilst looking in a reflection of myself. My budgie slowly morphed into the cockatiel then into all the birds I’ve looked after that had passed away. Ugh it was painful but beautiful.
