How can you tell the difference between a hallucination and real voices
I might have schizophrenia or I'm being gangstalked

By their probability. For example I have hallucinations and I sometimes hear strangers call my name in public repeatedly.
I know it's made up in my head cause a bunch of strangers have no idea who I am nor my name just like I don't know some strangers name either.
And it only happens when I'm severely anxious in crowded environments.
So the probability tells me it's not real.
Hallucinating isn't automatically schizophrenia though. You can hallucinate from drugs, trauma, or stress /sleep deprivation too which is the most common causes of hallucinations.
