My "cruel inner voice" comes from the years of being bullied by kids and teachers. I was special-needs, so I was an easier target for bullying, had a harder time making friends, and teachers got more angry with me than other kids. It went on for so long that I started thinking that it was true; that people would like me more if I was "normal."

Something I've been learning is a concept called "Bridging Statements". Though it sounds weird, sometimes those irrational, critical thoughts don't want to leave. Bridging Statements take that thought like "I'm never going to find someone to love me" and have you take a step back. Instead, try saying, "There are some qualities that people love me for". The more you build up these statements and work to believe them, the less critical that inner voice gets. In time and with enough work, I've been seeing changes for the better with my mental health, with way less negative thinking.

I am on the autism spectrum, and I've struggled for years to reconcile the fact that I don't perceive things as quick as other people, or in the same way. It makes me hyper-aware of every potential failure when I interact with people, and when I do badly at work or I miss some vital sign my inner voice tells me I've failed at being an adult. My inner voice keeps telling me I'm permanently handicapped, even when others tell me I'm not.

I got so negative and pessimist in this life to the point that I had to go to a psychologist and suffered a high blood pressure
My biodata: PhD, several scholarships and awards -> and yet I failed to see my own value.
It doesn't have to be an academic achievement, you are worthy no matter who you are.

My inner voice was so cruel...it destroyed my self confidence, my self esteem, caused me depression and anxiety. Little did I know, I had ADHD (diagnosed about four years ago). When my marriage blew up, I turned to counseling...what a difference having an awesome therapist has made in my life...â¤Thanks for another timely video, as well...

a negative inner voice might be one result of childhood experiences. if you have done something and it failed and then you tried to talk about it to your family members - but instead of support or kind words, you get something like "and why have you done it? if you hadn´t tried it, you wouldn´t have failed" - or something similar to that.
and sometimes it seems like that things will (almost) always get worse, if you try to think positive about something. applying for a job for example, or trying to ask out someone. and this could lead you to the conclusion, that you, whatever you are doing, always have to think neutral or even negative about the possible outcomes. don´t even try to think positive and hope for a success, because this will make you fail ineviatbly.

This reminds me of one of my best friends, who has to fight with a good batch of bad emotions. He is often bothered by thoughts so tremendously harrowing that he considers himself as some sort of demon. And he isn't even a bad person or anything. He is just so full of selfdoubt that he cant even see himself as a human.
I am not sure if i should even write about it, but i felt like if there is channel where i could, this would be it.

i have a very cruel inner voice. i used to abuse psychedelics and it gave me ptsd. so my inner voice became many many inner voices that sometimes even seemed to me like real outer voices. it was a big challenge for me, living with those voices mocking every step i take, everything i do... thankfully time helped and they faded away slowly after i became sober. but still, my inner voice is cruel

What do you think about Gabriel's voice? Gabriel has worked with us back in the early days when we started out Psych2Go. :_PSIBigHeart:
