inner whisperings that need to shut the fuck up

What are some shame based lies that you tell yourself? You know that inner voice that is a huge bullshitter? And this voice that is really your own (probably based on what the parents said while you were little until you moved out - now you take with you disguised as your own thought) The kind of insecure voice that takes you to that weird and uncomfortable place in about 2 seconds flat.
Mine told me that no one ever takes pictures of me in a group setting. I hear it say "people actually avoid taking pictures of you". I know that this is bullshit. But I can still obsess over it.
Some other lies might be an overgeneralization like "I'm never gonna get anywhere in life" or "Everyone has freedom but me!"
Or filtering. Like when you can only hear negative comments about yourself... you can hear your ass isnt fat or you look beautiful 100 times from others and you just disregard it.
One negative comment confirms that voice "Yeah I do look crappy in this color... or I wear too much black" when someone gives a simple suggestion that you asked for in the first place!

Fuck that inner voice. :toetap05:

 

I don't think I have any..

 

wow. maybe you are normal.. I have always wanted to meet one of those kinds.

I'd be walking down the road and one these voices will crack a joke, and il begin to laugh.. then the other one says to me "hey, stop laughing you idiot! if people were to see how you carrying on laughing all by yourself they'd think you insane!!"

anyhow, so I'm guessing you know what I mean now.. So all of you are the same as me??
if so let me know then dont have to go for any treatment.

 

I assume everyone has an oppressive voice, and a self-elevating voice. Law of opposites, you know.

At my best, they entertain me.

 

No, I have generalized anxiety disorder - and can be quite messed up - I have quite loud fears instead of inner self doubt.

 

I have anxiety, too, but it has gotten a lot better since I got into college and met the love of my life. I almost didn't date him because he was "too outgoing" and I thought "who do I think I am trying to get close to this person?" Almost like he was a celebrety.
Four years later, we're engaged. Best act of rebellion I have ever made against the voice within.
Mine usually tells me I'm a lazy brat who is judgmental without knowing what the fuck she's talking about and who doesn't take responsibility for her actions. It tells me I should feel more guilty than I do.
I know I'm not lazy. I work two jobs and go to school full time. Sometimes I miss homework, but anyone would with my schedule.
I do have a big mouth, and I can be opinionated despite my feelings that we shouldn't judge each other, but I usually only do it as a defense against those that have hurt me or are hurting others. I never attack people who are just minding their own business.
As for that guilt thing, I've never been good at feeling guilty unless it's a big deal. I have a few regrets in my life, but you can't dwell on them. So I don't.
It also tells me I am a bad friend. Sometimes I avoid phone calls because I can't deal with talking to other people. But that's the anxiety. Sometimes I just can't help it. I've gotten very good at seizing time to recharge when I need it. The world won't stop turning without me for a couple of hours.

 

It's our inner checks and balances. Now, if you can only get down on yourself, or only validate yourself...then there is a problem.

We should be able to do both.

 

Everyone has an inner voice, its part of the Id, ego, superego.
