How would you describe your inner critic?

Mine just assumes the worst will happen and allow my mind to play on it

Mine judges me for everything I do, makes me feel small and not good enough

Anxiety. Pure extreme anxiety if not being enough.

It is that voice which makes me feel anxious while constantly weighing me down.

A evil version of myself that believes to know the future. A person I can’t escape with my deepest fears.

Like I was doing something beneficial

Overly negative.

I struggled to come up with a description.

I’ve previously thought my inner critic was myself, as it lends my voice. And I guess it is, you are your mind. But I also feel like the mind can be worked on, just like any other part of the body and drawing my inner critic made it feel like someone else, which in turn makes it easier to disagree with and hopefully eventually change. It doesn’t feel as much ‘me’ anymore, which is good.

It’s my younger self who was much fitter and active judging me for who I am now I’m older

It’s more of a feeling than a physical figure. Lots of strong feelings of shame, anxiety, and self-consciousness that manifest in a tight, hot feeling in my chest and throat, which travels up to my ears in the same way it would if I was embarrassed.

It was like a thunderstorm announcing what could go wrong. If I were rejected or if they thought less of me. Also, if something hit, it would be discouraging

My voice telling me I couldn’t

Helpless, angry, abused

He’s a thinner and taller version of myself in a dress shirt and slacks, kind of blurry, and his voice echoes in my head

Just myself in a parallel world telling me what could go wrong if i do a certain action

A complacent version of myself telling its not going to work out

An idealized version of myself telling me how much of a failure I am. If I wasn’t so bad, I could have ended up like him

A feeling of assuming all the worst things will happen, once again. Leaving me full of shame and annoyance, and her full of dissatisfaction and self consciousness.

It’s constantly telling me you won’t be enough for this person, he’s going to move on from you.
