Reply to comment by xannmax in Internal Dialogue [OC] by downrightlazy

You're pretty much spot on there u/xannmax, I've had a constant stream of negative dialogue running in my head for some time now and it's been an exhausting manner of existence. I'm glad that you understood but also sorry that you can relate, which is a weird sentence. Much love and keep fighting the good fight mate.

I feel like this is commentary on the way we talk about ourselves.

We're the figure at the bottom, scolded and berated and chastised in a variety of distressing ways. And each one of these five figures embodies a form of inner turmoil we inflict on ourselves. The pain of our mistakes, disappointment in our failures, scrutiny of our wasted time and money, agony over our injuries and ailments, and the constant burning nagging reminder of 'you're going to die one day.'

Fantastic piece!

If that's you in the middle, OP, you can use your mind to make them the small ones. it might not work for long, or all the time, but it's worth a shot. Much love
