What's the difference between an imaginary friends, voices and talking to yourself ?

I see a lot of people who talk about how they hear voices or that they talk to themselves and all, but in reality what's the difference?

i sometimes talk to my self as if it was another person but in a joking way but i started to question wtf is that.

If the imaginary friend is ,,evil“, then it might be one of the symptoms of schizophrenia. If not, then I wouldnt be worried. Lots of ppl experience it

I think the difference depends on how well your thorazine and haldol are working.
