What does your inner critic sound like? (Part 4)

For me it’s a racing heart and an inevitability that I won’t be able to maintain an erection.

It’s anxiety from having a large gap from sec and that my wife doesn’t like my touch and feels I’m inadequate in the bedroom. The come through as a fight or flight response in sex, where I panic this will be the last time we are intimate before she gives up sex with me.

Its my voice in my head telling me I’m going to struggle to get hard and blow the momentum. Then Ill have to aggressively try to get myself hard while she waits…again. Then I might lose my erection while Im inside of her. Variations on that theme

It’s my voice right before intercourse telling me I won’t be able to get hard. It started after a night out and I wasn’t able to get hard that due to being so drunk. It stuck a bit since.

it was just the self doubt. Just the memory of what’s happened before. Not how hard I’ve been but how hard I haven’t.

Critic is just a voice/thought that you will lose your erection and spoil the whole thing. That this is how it will always be from now on.

My inner critic was me failing again.

It’s not there. More like a shadow/depression following me ready to put a stop to my happiness when I can enjoy the pleasure of life

It was me. I am so harsh on myself

i felt that my inne critic was inherently analytical. worried about certain outcomes.

physically i tuned into my pelvic floor and became aware that i wasn’t erect

I felt that my inner critic was putting pressure on me in the way of not being enough. Then my mind wanders to work related stress because its easier to deal with.

You cont do it. Yikes it sounds l likre my mom

I heard my own voice - at first encouraging me to do better, but later expressing disappointment towards me because I wasn’t enough. I’m always worried that I might disappoint someone.

My inner critic was myself talking down upon oneself and telling me that there’s no hope for me and my problems. Telling me that my family doesn’t support my decisions on the topic of sex and that they would harm me if I had sex before marriage. It makes me feel anxious, sad, and scared.

I think it’s me, but just the worst side of me- mean and intrusive

It’s like I’m afraid of not being able to keep up with someone else’s needs and desires. Afraid that i’m not enough for someone or that I’m going to disappoint them and, in turn, myself.

It’s absolutely myself as the inner critic. I am slowly losing any confidence I once had in myself. If you peel back the layers to it, everything stems from myself not embracing who I am and not allowing myself to focus on the most important things to better myself.

My inner critic is myself and telling me that I won’t live up to expectations and that I will become embarrassed.

My inner critic is a reflections of the neglect I felt as a child, a negative reinforcement of not being good enough.
