Inner critic was trying to convince me that I needed to get hard. But I tried to keep my inner critic quiet by reminding myself that it’s normal to be soft, and in fact it should be soft most of the day, unless something happens to arouse it. That made it feel more normal to be soft and let me focus more on the things I like about my penis, like the shape and size and other things that make me proud of my guy
My inner critic is focused on me not being enough and not being able to perfectly perform so it’s always aimed at that
I was reminded of two times I didn’t get hard recently, and felt bad about one girl not texting me back after that night - and another I was worried about letting her down again, because we both want to get together and start something later - those voices aren’t helpful and frankly not really true
It didn’t really say much I just kind of sat with it
It didn’t say anything to me during this - I just worked through observing myself
My inner critic was doubting me but I just told it that I know that these thoughts exist and that it is okay to have the thoughts
I really didn’t notice anything in particular, I assume because the inner critic comes out strongest when I’m not alone
It just said that my dick is useless when it’s soft, but that’s not really true and I know that.
It didn’t say much, except maybe ‘shouldn’t it be hard by now?’

I didn’t notice my inner critics much. It was mostly me just presently analyzing parts of my penis which was nice as I don’t do it often
It reminded me of times I couldn’t get hard and how shitty that felt. How small it looks when it’s soft

I’m overweight, so I can’t really see it very well without a mirror, and it can be difficult to reach. My inner critic really pressed in on that. I tried to be kind to myself and remind myself that I’ve been doing better for my health and weight loss takes time.

I was thinking of recent times I couldn’t get hard, and my inner critic was telling me that this was a “bad state” to be in. It was also quietly wondering why I wasn’t getting aroused just playing with it. I calmed myself, and just started to examine and look at it more
My inner critic felt like he was trying to prove a point. As I started to get hard even with very little interaction. Where as in a recent sexual encounter the reaction was the opposite. It required so much interaction to get hard.
The sensation reminded me of The feeling when I couldn’t get an erection during sex, and it made me realise, that it’s the starting point of my performance anxiety
Told my penis was awesome, would get me children someday. Felt weird and confident at the same time.

I noticed just by staring at it past scenarios or anxieties word start playing through my mind which is wild
I started feeling bad about it not gerting hard
I didn’t set out to get it hard, so I didn’t hear much from my inner critic at the time. I was well relaxed, but my mind was off the negative thoughts. I think it’s because i was relaxed and even without any porn or imagining my penis was very slowly picking up volume. Not hard, still soft. But I didn’t get to interact with the critic this time. But I surely would if I did try to get it hard and it still remained soft.
Told my penis we would create future children someday with the beautiful girl I started dating.
