It is a representation of my anxiety and depression. It thinks the worst in all situations. It is not me but I think it is important to remember it is a part of me, a part of me I need to recognise, challenge and tame.
It’s a respsontation of the deterioration of my initial need for an actual protector of the world when I needed it most. But growing more and more, it feels like it’s just trying to keep me held in its surgical like needle fingers. My inner critic was needed for me when I was young, but it hurts me way worse now.
Good to see it as a separate entity I am free to ignore

It’s good to remind myself that it’s not me. It’s not what I feel.
Not really, but it’s interesting to think of it as not just me but am external influence
The uncertainty of the fog is me only when I’m panicked, so it’s good to dissociate myself from the critic
It made me feel like I am better than blindly listening to a stranger if that makes sense
It helped me realize that the inner critic is not me and that I can fight it
It made me look at it from an outside perspective
It was helpful to think of it as other, not me.
I don’t see it as a critic, more an extremely anxious, nervous version of me

It’s good to see it as something outside of myself that can be changed
It is helpful to see it as a separate being that makes decisions for me and that I silence to be able to make decisions for myself.
It feels like version or part of my brain I am trying to escape from
Made me realise how different I truly am from my inner critic. It’s time to put him to sleep.

Made me think I need reprogramming
Made me realise how much it is affecting me
It was confronting to see it but I am looking forward to learning techniques to shut it down
I think that trying to generate an inner critic with AI prompts isn’t particularly helpful, and makes me feel as though the thoughts and feelings that I am sharing (privately) within the app are for the benefit of a computer.
That said, the exercise is helpful, but I don’t want to see it again
The inner critic generated for me doesn’t resonate with me. That being said, it probably is helpful to visualise it as a different “entity” or “force”, keeping it separate from “me”.
