I’m objectively very successful, but starting every morning in the shower, and probably a few times per hour throughout the day, I have to manually derail that voice telling me how stupid I am, how I deserve nothing I’ve gained in life, and how I’ve failed to be a good enough person.
Do some people not? It was fucking constant at some parts of my life. It’s why I can’t judge addicts, I had the strength and conditions not to fall, but I’ve had times where I deeply understood trading my future and health just to make my brain shut the fuck up.
No, I basically actively summon mine and it is part of me and disappears when I get very distracted. It thinks what I think. It never critisises me, but more like celebrates good things and curses if bad things happen and plans ahead what I should do or say.
I unintentionally created one when I was depressed. I used a sort of imaginary person to bounce ideas off when I was writing or doing anything creative, just a kind of mirror me who I spoke to and then who responded (not literally, it was just me responding “as” them, not a hallucination). When I got very depressed though, I lost control somehow, the self-hating part of my brain took over, and they became a voice very much like what’s shown in this meme.
I dealt with that, eventually. Now I just have my own voice in my head. I’m still not nice to myself all the time, and I wouldn’t say I have total control over that… But it’s a step in the right direction.
do people really have inner voices that demoting?
Yes…
Yes, imagine a self-critical version of yourself voicing its opinions on your failures.
Yes literally all the time on everything I do

i have complete control of mine, so it’s about as demoting as i think i am, which i’m not thankfully
