It’s my dad, who loved me very much and we had a good relationship. He was very tough on me with high standards and I always felt like I couldn’t ever achieve them, and when I did, not to his fault, I just felt I needed to do more. Weird on a sex app lol but I think his voice has just started to trickle into every aspect of my life.
My inner critic tells me to make sure I do as much foreplay as possible so there’s at least some enjoyment for the girl in case I can’t stay hard. My inner critic yells at me and makes me panic when I notice a slight decrease in my erection, causing it to go away even faster.
Another part of me that seems overrun by anxiety and nervousness. Presents themselves as logical but in the moment has trouble making cohesive thoughts. Just negative emotion.
Confused. Not confident in what is going on. Sure that my wife isn’t really interested in sex just trying to appease my wants.
I feel it’s every comment every person has said about sex and me noticing that it possibly applies. My inner critic is not so much of an inner voice, but they are thoughts that just sit in my brain all the time. The moment performing comes, they exponentially get worse.
An ominous presence that finds my insecurities and blows them up onto a giant screen in my mind so it’s all I can see. Makes me feel really hot and tingly in the most awful way.
Quiet. Almost silent.
A more strict version of myself, whispering that I’m incapable.
More like an overwhelming emptiness pointing my inability to perform.
A downer
This tiny creature standing right by my ear shaming me about my physical insecurities and discouraging me saying I wouldn’t keep it hard so what’s the point of even trying
It’s myself and others telling me I’m never going to be good enough. I can’t do the things others can. It’s my ex telling me I’m too short and too small to make her feel good about herself.
It feels it’s like my mean version shaming myself
It is me and it uses words like “can’t” “don’t” “won’t” or “hope it works”
Myself in my own head, degrading and talking down, making me feel like I have no chance or won’t be good enough during sex. It’s not just in the bedroom though but in social settings like college where I refuse to speak in class because I’ll be embarrassed if I were to stutter or say the incorrect answer.
My inner critic tells me I’m not lasting long enough. That I need to be able to keep up with the man prior to me and I’m just not capable and that she doesn’t enjoy it because of that. I feel like I need to amount to something that I haven’t even been able to scratch the surface of and it’s leaving her dissatisfied.
It is an aggressive shout highlighting where I am nervous and struggling with. It only highlights the wrongs, and never the rights.
Negative but sometimes positive ish
A pretentious, condescending asshole. But still me, somehow.
A little worm in the back of my mind, constantly reminding me of the insecurities and things I am trying to avoid happening
