I’m not entirely sure how but I like the concept because they know you, since they are inside you. So it’s making friends with some1 who knows u inside and out.
Plus if you can befriend it, maybe it will eventually not be super critical?
Not sure we have one per se. Has been formulated by jung as animus and freud as thanatos or id, etc. But its a bunch of negative drives or somesuch not a demon
I try not to let any of my self inner criticism make me take it personally.
Any criticism of myself from myself or others I just try not to take it personally anymore.
Whenever I take something really personal it puts me into a situation where I’m stuck in my own feelings and I’m trapped in them. I feel like the only one. I feel like injustice is being done to me alone. From myself or others.
I have a very strong inner critic that masks itself as a helpful voice telling me when I’m wrong or bad so that I can be better. What Im starting to realize is it’s just what I think the world thinks of me and I’ve either internalized actually abuse or my delusions have distorted my way of seeing myself and the world…
I’m just now starting to realize…even tho I can’t always control it… that those thoughts are really the reason I feel like a horrible human being. Without them I wouldn’t turn into some horrible monster but I would gradually return to a much healthier view of myself and the world. This in turn would ironically make me the better person that my inner deamon tells me it’s trying to create
