I offer an account of thought insertion based on a certain model of self‐knowledge. I propose that subjects with thought insertion do not experience being committed to some of their own beliefs. A hypothesis about self‐knowledge explains why. According to it, we form beliefs about our own beliefs on the basis of our evidence for them. First, I will argue that this hypothesis explains the fact that we feel committed to those beliefs which we are aware of. Then, I will point to one feature of schizophrenia that suggests that subjects with thought insertion may not be able to know their own beliefs in that way.
