The voices are auditory hallucinations. An example of the "running commentary" is if you're doing the dishes and the voice is saying things like "You don't know what you're doing. You're not getting those dishes clean enough. You used too much soap. You're going to make everyone sick". The "voices conversing" is like overhearing a conversation between two or more people. The sufferer is usually the subject of the conversation. For example, voice #1 may say "Did you see what she was wearing?" and voice #2 may say "Yeah, she looks really fat in it" and #1 may say "She does and she's really having a bad hair day".
This is very individual, but it can be a result of paranoid ideas. It can be somebody in your head warning you about something, and telling you to protect yourself. But that is a mild version.
Some are in their head actually being attacked, and they have no choice but defend themself.
