I think it probably helps to personify functions of the human mind.
The image helps me separate from it. It doesn’t feel like a part of me that drives shame. It’s something I can shoo off.
It makes me realize that my inner critic isn’t a version of me that I should be proud of, listen to, or let control my thoughts because it isn’t who I try to be.
It helps separate the real me from this self deprecating idea that I am not enough. The inner critic is not me!
He’s like me but due to the past he’s trying to analyze and think of the worst possible scenarios rather than what’s really happening or what in front of me
Always thinking worst case scenario and expecting the worst, never the best
It was scary looking
It looks like a looming force that’s always following me
It looks directionless and emotionless, following me and making sure I stay on its path
It looks emotionless, as if it’s only purpose is to talk down upon myself
It was me at my worst and the person i hate looking back on
It reminds me of Voldemort. Absolutely creepy as hell.
It looked like me looking down and out, pretty accurate
Looked soulless. Like it wants to take all joy.
It was dark, cold and empty, but it’s presence was everywhere. It was as if it completely filled all of the areas around me
It’s looks empty but powerful
It makes me feel less powerful and more anxious
It’s the version of me that wants to sabotage.
It was interesting. Just a dark shadowy figure, which feels like my inner voice.. not the main one, just the annoying one that trys to screw me over. The one I need to quieten down
It looks like it hates me
