Me standing there ashamed alone and anxious knowing there’s nothing I can do about it
Shamed face of myself staring through the clouds of a storm.
It’s an image of myself failing in the past. It’s the face of my lover looking disappointed
Myself, tired, upset. My eyes are upset and im holding myself tight, scared
It’s anticipation of new pleasures, mixed with fears of failing…not a person, just me trying to get past a roadblock, real or perceived, with my new relationship
I never realized it was a younger scared version of myself
It’s a confused and humiliated version of myself, intent on bringing me down to his level / lack of confidence.
Like a feeling of a predetermined outcome, like self sabotage
Like I am worthless or stuck in this permanent situation
Like I’m being stood over and judged
It reminded me of a younger version of myself who was so focused on stifling himself to avoid cringe and embarrassment and feeling left out
It’s my voice but sternet and more serious, like a judge in a court room.
Not a physical or figure or voice. More of a manifestation of negative feelings that have already predetermined what’s going to happen and why I will fail
It had my voice. But wasn’t a figure or person. It was my voice coming from a huge, consuming cloud of negativity in my head. So consuming I could not identify one negative thought, I was just slammed with all negative thoughts at once. It is an overwhelming cloud with my voice.
Not a voice, but a presence. Like a dark smothering cloud that takes away good feelings.
No visual reference, just my inner voice like a looming fog that floods my mind and mental space with negative thoughts convincing myself that it won’t work, even before sex or foreplay is instigated sometimes. Just total self sabotage that i can’t seem to ignore and gets worse.
More like a feeling like a void within the stomach giving chills and suddenly makes me tense with the feeling I have been already defeated
My inner critic is myself, but dressed smartly with no imperfections. He has this enormous, obnoxious smile.
Presented with this cringy feeling like a boss pretending to care about you, but you know full well that he will say something nasty about you to someone else.
His presence is like a fog, masking the pathway of your own goals, and will smile whilst he is there.
It’s myself, but a big shadowy fog who feels all encompassing and all powerful.
Trying to please but not good enough
