Apprehensive, anxious, confused, not confident - the opposite of what I’m like in my day to day life.
They’re my overbearing mother and overly critical and abusive who would shame everything I ever did as a kid
My inner critic is intense and demanding - doesn’t have time for feelings just harsh truth
Nervous, eager to please, lacking confidence
Just anxiety and tightness or weight in the chest
My inner critic has a clear vision of “how I should be” and if I don’t satisfy this threshold I lose confidence
Less than. Never good enough
Gross. Inferior
It’s saying I’m not as good as I was and I’ve lost it. Lost my mojo.
I see them as a shadow version of myself with glowing eyes. I feel like embodying it gives me a better chance at tackling it.
Feel less of myself and that I can’t keep it going
Just a massive self doubt machine that looks like me.
A bigger, stronger and cocky version of myself, saying this is what you want to be, so why aren’t you?
I am my inner critic
a nameless faceless person (like a default profile picture in 3D)
It sounds like my father
A transparent wave that rushes over any enjoyable thoughts and washes them away
A tiny bolt of lighting, jabbing me at every turn
a frantic wildfire that slowly intensifies. A younger version of myself that is constantly fearful and deeply tense.
It sounds like me, but is only negative and is like a small devil sitting on my shoulder, telling me only my worst thoughts
