What did you learn about your inner critic today?

I felt defeated, I know he’s there to help but we gotta find a way to work together, in the end we can both be satisfied

My inner critic is so apathetic and doesn’t care. Doesn’t even want to try to have sex because he thinks there’s no chance I’ll ever get hard

My inner critic only appears as a voice. It has no physical manifestation, outside of being able to control my mind.

Yes helps make it real

It made me feel something. Reminded me of the things i tell myself and feel

My inner critic is a better version of me. Always putting me down saying things to discourage me or make me anxious.

My inner critic is me if I did everything right in my life. If the gift of hind sight could be used to control my future decisions. It looks back on me feeling sorry that I never was able to make the same decisions he did but wants me to do better. My inner critic isn’t malicious but just better than me. The real me, and I am just the version of him that motivates him to do better. Because I am what he’d end up as if he didn’t try harder.

My inner critic is a depressing, dark cloud that is constantly looming. They feel like a self reflection of my psyche on my worst, most anxious days. It feels as if the cloud ever lifts, my confidence will explode

My inner critic is a smaller, weaker me that whispers doubt and fear into my ear. It’s tells me to make myself small and withdraw to be safe, to minimize myself and that any attention toward what I need or want could be met with rejection and shame

The inner critic is like an assistant. It wants to work for me but worries and stresses about possible negative outcomes. It doesn’t have a shape or move but it’s always right there with me.

No. My inner critic didn’t resonate with me.

The picture of my inner critic freaked me out some, but it’s spot on. I know I need to control that voice inside my head and am glad I’m taking the first steps to do so

The picture of my inner critic helped me realize that I can learn how to control it

Nice picture but for me its more like a powerpoint/video of all the times I haven’t performed (imagined or actual). Seeing them excited as the smile slowly fades, and me just getting nowhere as the pressure builds… to nothing.

It showed me how it makes me feel but also that I can beat it with practice

Yes it resonates with me . Pity seeking kind of person.

It does not matter if it is visualized. For me, its more a “mind” deal.

My inner critic think it is helping me but it is not been effecting my life since I’ve became of age and starting to become stressful I’m always overthinking something because of my inner critic

While the image didn’t resonate with me much, the journal exercise was helpful in labeling my inner critic, making those thoughts easier to identify.

It’s nice to put a face with the emotion
