It felt real. The image is fantastical but it invoked the usual feelings of dread and sluggishness coupled with those occasional stings of anxiety.
Yes now it seems real
100%
It made it possible to differentiate between the real me and my critic
For one thing, it didn’t look like me. Physically, it looked like an anti-me.
Yeah it really did
Personally, I don’t think in this aspect of my life that I’m harsh to myself internally. More just observing
Yes. The inner critic is a perfect representation of what it looks like.
I would have no respect for a critic who looked like my representation
It was nice to separate that voice as an identifiable thing, which I can learn to control
Personally, since my inner critic comes more as a feeling than a voice, it didn’t resonate much with me but in trying to associate the image with my feelings
Clearly yes, it was like the my rejected side of myself
eh, for me it feels more like my inner critic is a voice that’s disembodied
I feel like its the part of me that overthinks so it can protect me
It did resonate with me. It felt as if I was looking at something that has had control of me for a long time. It was a little spooky.
It scared me
it looked poweful… i feel like working with the critic rather than pushing it down is the best course of action. sometimes the critic is what is needed.
I don’t know if this is supposed to be empowering but I just feel sick.
It makes me realize that it’s not necessarily me but something that’s trying to influence me
A little
