Overcoming Bad Inner Voices

[@AndroidG13]

One suggestion I would provide is, speak to yourself the same way as when you speak to your best friend; With kindness, understanding, and encouragement

[@Abhijeetetrx]

Gabriel Medina THIS This is great advice.

[@grahamhoran5389]

Gabriel Medina that's truly great advice !! thank you for that I'll always remember that 👍

[@videtowitelpavo]

Gabriel Medina what if me and my best friend are always being rude to each other, like we're fighting or something like it.

[@hipnhappenin]

Gabriel Medina I never liked this advice. My friend bitches to me about something bad going on with her literally at least once a day. Many of these things are indeed shitty and I pity her. And I honestly don't know if things will look up for her. Do I tell her this? Of course not. I just tell her to hang in there but deep down I'm a lot more pessimistic about her situation. It's hard to talk to yourself objectively when you know the real deal of what's going on

[@grahamhoran5389]

hipnhappenin I think your taking the advice in the wrong context. ..the whole thing is about stopping negative /bad thoughts and replacing them with kind thoughts instead and it's a great concept to treat your own thoughts like how you would speak to your best friend...

[@AFabricatedReality]

Yeah, I don't buy it. Inner voices can be completely irrational constructions of our own psyche, which aren't necessarily directly based on input from others.

[@choclatetaffypop4266]

Agreed, the voices come from ppl who said hurtful things to us as a child at least mine are

[@SavvyToli]

Inner voices aren't always from people that have said bad stuff to you, but probably from just indirect comments either to you or to others that are close to you. Sometimes it may just be trigger words themselves. I do believe that words of bad influence from others in your life does have a big part in it.

[@denisjrrichard5440]

I think it's that and retaining bad experiences/failures that hurt us. We internalize them and let them take refuge instead of fending them or not believing in them. Hard to do as a child when everything is gospel. Possible to work on as an adult but takes a lot of work. My two cents after working on them for some time now. 🙏

[@REJ5557]

I once heard that when we hear the negative voices in our minds, it’s helpful to try and identify whose voice it is. Is it your mother’s voice, or your boss’s voice. Try it, it’s amazing to be able to put a name to the voices going around in your head. I tried it and I was shocked by how many other people’s voices had been internalised, and how much attention I paid to them. Nowadays, I try to develop the habit of saying to myself, “ah, that’s my mum’s voice telling me I can’t do this because I’m not good enough.” Once I’ve identified the voice I respond with another voice, my own voice and say “no, mum, I get to decide what I can and can’t do, and for the record, I was always good enough, and I’m sorry that you never realised that.” Excellent video 👏👏👏

[@albaniansnippets4809]

Ruth Jones I imagine the voice to be some kind of shape shifter whose goal is to bring me down by shifting into people in my environment.

[@KateGladstone]

I know whose voice it is, but I canNOT counter it or withdraw attention from it - I’ve been trying that for at least 55 years (I’m 57). The mechanisms for doing so appear to be absent or at least completely inaccessible/unfindable. Please help.

[@MrEvgoo]

who's voice is telling me to kill myself, nobody has said it to me before I don't even consider that option anymore, but there's a voice that constantly spams this idea, and I am in constant internal conflict with it..

[@abhilashajha8822]

Dear people who suffered emotional neglect in childhood and also everyone else, You in no way were responsible for the fallacies of your parents. When we are abused as children we tend to think we don't deserve love and kindness from people around us and end up sabotaging their efforts. Remember that you are unique, you are beautiful, you are lovable. Love yourself unconditionally, shower yourself with love for being you. See you will make mistakes but if you love yourself you will find the strength to say "It's okay, its human nature to be like this". The assurance from yourself will give you joy even when things go very wrong. You will be your own lover, friend and parent, glowing with inner warmth, helping people discover their own glow and helping them love themselves. This will give you the zeal to live, and even in darkest times, you will be grateful for your existence. Love yourself the way you want people to love you and never once will you feel that life is not worth living. Keep glowing, Love, Human, Earth, 2019 P.S: The message of self-love is urgent. It might prevent someone from committing suicide, it helped me. Edit: Had a good happy cry after reading all your comments. You are all nice, kind and beautiful people. You deserve your own generosity. Love you all.😘

[@randombraincell4444]

I was thinking bout it.. thank u

[@sbeast64]

Another way of overcoming negative self talk is to assume that all criticisms and insults are questions rather than statements. For example, change "you are useless" to "are you useless?". Because the usefulness of a person can only be determined by them self, then other people do not have the power to determine your worth, therefore it was always a question, and not a fact.

[@user-ds5fr6ob3i]

Sbeast thank u

[@OhMyGodHeAdmitIt]

Ah this is a nice idea :) thank you

[@blueconversechucks]

Sbeast yes I find that identifying and questioning unhelpful thoughts is a very effective way to interrupt them. so often the thoughts that bring me down are not true. I have gotten better at stopping them from getting in the way using a very similar method to what you describe. it is slow and takes a lot of practice, but it's beginning to make a difference after many months.

@@Sarafara7 Check out Porter's song "Mirror" - it uses samples from this video at the end and in general is themed around the idea of the inner voice.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

I used to draw and to paint. I made a self portrait impressionist style, at that time I was seeing someone. Then, it ended and that person told me that my painting was garbage that I didn't know how to paint and that person knew people that could paint a thousand times better than me. I got rid of the painting and my drawings. Every time that I tried to pick up the pencil all I could hear was that person's voice belittling my portrait. Then after years had passed, I saw an episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog titled "Perfect" and that fish's voice telling Courage that there is no such thing as "perfect" got me into drawing again, and every time I start to hear that person's voice the fish's voice drowns it. There is no such thing as "perfect."

[@stvltiloqvent]

oh, damn, sounds like i gotta watch that EP of Courage the Cowardly Dog... (i have issues with perfectionism, it makes my ADHD life hell)

[@curlyhairdudeify]

+marcy唯美 I have started drawing, then I feel like I have to stop because they don't look "perfect" but I continue to draw hearing that Fish's voice telling me that "there is no such thing as perfect." And my drawings have improved, watch that episode, practice makes perfect.

[@FutileGrief]

that is so cool. I have to watch that episode, maybe the fish will come to my aid as well haha. No, seriously, I completely understand what you mean. How it takes but one mean comment on a random day to hinder your belief system and fill you with crippling doubt. It's easy to say to "shake it off", but sometimes it cuts so deep that that is simply not possible. You're lucky you found a way out.

"An inner voice was once an outer voice" - This line has changed my life. I first watched this video in 2016 while I was struggling with anxiety and insecurities. Upon watching this I was able to pinpoint exactly where my anxiety came from and was able to mentally detach myself from that. I started distracting myself from my anxiety with more productive habits and with the course of 3 months I was able to almost completely obliterate my insecurities and nearly all my anxiety both of which I had been struggling with for over 6 years. Thanks so much :)

[@RosanneSol]

This will result in non-resilient, narcissistic children. Children need to learn to cope with stress and tackle difficulties in a healthy, encouraging way. Overprotection against stress will not do that for them. It will only teach them that everything will just come their way and once life hits them with unavoidable difficulties they won't know how to deal with them and will most likely resort to avoiding responsibility, blaming others, and possibly not taking feelings of and consequences for others into account.

[@critical11creator]

Yo guys I said as little as possible. Being rough on the kids in just the right way is best. Every mature person knows that. Chill :D

If it's constructive criticism, it can be helpful. My nastiest of red-ink spilling teachers were strangely my favorite ones too. I took their remarks with a grain of salt. You can always ignore their opinion.

[@ryanlacroix6425]

Ah, you have come to the nuance of the issue and seen the "happiness trap" before you fell in. The positive voices are no more or less real than the negative ones. Neither are of greater or worse value. Whenever you have a negative thought temper it and think about it rationally before believing it, but crucially do the same with any positive thoughts. A fantastic book with many practical tools in this area is called "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns. I've found it to be very useful.

Along with "Why we hate cheap things", the one on being anxious, "In praise of the quiet life" and (last not least) the one rehabilitating "wisdom" are absolute keepers and should be pondered and listened to several times.

The "voices" can be silenced. Used to had them. They've mostly gone now.

[@timeshiftersvk]

Actually, they can be silenced, but you should not try to do it consciously. You should not try to focus on negative thoughts and try to silence them. Instead, you should accept them as a part of your own inner self, and try to train them, to actually invoke them so at the end you will become numb to them. See ERP therapy and/or wiki on OCD for more info. The best way is, though, to see a therapist on your own and talk to him/her. It helped me a lot to overcome instant raging thoughts... they are still there, but I can cope with them little bit more rationally then before. :)

First and easiest step in such a process: Look at who you know and if those people are the same people as the voices inside you, and check if anyone else you know also is bad for you. Family are very often the bad voices inside, and they tend to still have contact with us beyond our inside voices.

[@littleblueclovers]

"An inner voice always used to be an outer voice." I honestly can't think of a single person who said any of the things my inner voices have said. No one has ever said "you're ugly" or "you're pathetic" or "you can't do anything right" to me. At least, not to my face.

[@CanariasCanariass]

Same here, but I think we might have perceived others to think about us that way when we were younger, solely through their actions, so that it became a core belief nonetheless. For example, I was very shy and insecure in school, so I never managed to find a girlfriend while others had it very easy to find one. That experience probably taught me that I'm ugly and inadequate and whatever, and shrank my self worth even more so that I had even less of a chance. But it was probably not the reason why I didn't succeed...

[@bettiiblu]

Sometimes it is from mood disorders, like depression and anxiety, but sometimes, the bad voices are just based on feeling like the opposite of what is expected of you from society. Sometimes seeing other people succeed based off of the things you've been told successful people do, or sometimes not being grounded in yourself, and making constant comparisons might cause you to internalize messages that are harmful to you.

[@smonkedweed7414]

The inner voice repeats what it feels outer voices meant and amplifies them.

"Sometimes, the inner voice is encouraging. Calling for you to run those final few yards. You're nearly there. Keep going (keep going). It will all be ok in the end." "Its not the voice of all the others, you've only said it to yourself. I dont know what you want from me." What a way for porter to express his inner thoughts. Nurture told a really good story about learning how to overcome self doubt and explaining the self harming thoughts that go through the mind while also being an insanely good album production-wise.

Nice video. Reduce overthinking to relax the mind. Feed trash and trash will come out. Be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing yourself with others, avoid storing bottled up emotions, reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils and within the nostrils for 10-15 minutes or more. You can sit on a chair or lay down anywhere, be as still as possible, eyes closed but no deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. Make it a lifetime habit to observe your breath before sleep, when travelling, when reading, at the workplace etc, if needed with eyes open. Best wishes--Counsellor.

It's overwhelming sometimes how personal these messages feel.

[@rkgk1517]

I am amazed that so many other people have this brutal tendency like I do. For a long time I was aware of the voice and not being able to change it. What's helped me a bit is trying to internalize positive things more in general, since I readily absorb negative things. I have some great people in my life so I WRITE DOWN encouraging things they say and positive affirmations in general. I write them, and reread them, and try to internalize them. They're collected on little slips of paper in a box in my house though I'm sure a portable notebook would work fine as well. The CBT method of recognizing the recurring negative thoughts of the voice, discrediting it, and trying something else (what would you say to a friend?) can be helpful. I put it in practice by writing the common negative thoughts down notecards and turning them over. I time myself and try to quickly flip it and write something more positive/constructive on the other side, drill-style. I guess for me I have to physically put it into practice. But they say of course neurons that fire together wire together, so putting it with something I enjoy (writing) has been helpful. Good luck to everyone else who's dealing with this issue.

I'd like to hear what you have to say about the larger system of the world and where it is going. I am dying inside everyday as I continue this worthless existence, excuse my drama, I've been thinking about poverty, politics and economy again. You have to die as a child to become an adult, and one of the ways I have died is realising that good ideas and ideals are not enough to change the world, you need money, (even to run for offices!). I start to feel like I understand Nietzsche and Nihilisim a bit, perhaps total annihilation is the best solution if it means that true justice will finally come about on this fucked earth. Why does thinking, knowledge, illumination make me so sad?? Why am I ranting now to people I have never met?? Why bother when I'll be relaxed and forgetful again soon?? I'll be spouting philosophical rhetoric to my walls again soon. I'm so glad I found this channel, thank you for being you, can't talk to my parents, have no real friends currently and am pretty much nearly a wreck. But watching your videos, learning a bit more about philosophy is helping me a lot.

[@falleneldor]

I feel much the same way. the difference being I find grace in the knowledge that God loves me, and eveyone else the same. Humanity is unified under the Creator's love. Also, I find solace in the comforts of daily visits back to childhood. This "s" is a symbol of HOPE, one that unites us, and tells us we can acomplish great things!

[@Lethargo226]

***** I've thought about that, and that is actually the natural conclusion, to just adapt as lazily as possible, do what everyone else is doing. But I can't stand to think about what part of myself I would have to give up to become that person who would be so rich, would that still be the same person who wishes to see change? I look at my father and say no. There's no middle ground, you have to choose your path in life, I think I've just about found mine, even though I might have to worry about my families financial health in the meantime, I think for myself, I want to become the change I want to see.

[@Lethargo226]

***** Word.

[@ryanlacroix6425]

Try thinking of your life not as a thing a single individual has and experiences, but as a tool that you have to wield to make the world better for everyone. Put yourself in the larger context of human history and see the enormous time span over which societal changes occur: decades, centuries, and millenia. Don't think "my life is shitty now ND everything sucks" but think "I have the power the make positive changes in the world, but likely my actions will be a small force in a larger scale dynamic moving human civilization toward greater equity and peace that I won't enjoy in my lifetime but future generations will benefit from." Nihilism isn't the answer, it's just defeatist and there are ways to effect change in society through activism, politics and business but you can't get discouraged when success seems so far out of your lifetimes. Fight for those generations to come and hopefully you'll find a drive and purpose that gives meaning for your life beyond just your own life. Hope you feel better, man.

Ryan Lacroix Thanks a lot man, that was really well said, and encouraging. You're right, keeping a level head is important, it's an uphill battle, but yes as part of a larger force, change will come.

[@jmccoomber1659]

Me, too! After 50 years of dealing with an older sibling who always put me down, minimized anything I did right and refused to respect my boundaries, I was forced to cut off contact. It's been almost 10 years now and finally, I no longer hear his voice screaming negativity when things go wrong...or that I'm an imposter when things go well. Sadly, we haven't been in contact for almost a decade and I still miss the big brother I wish I had had, but I know I'm much stronger and mentally healthy than I ever could have been with him in my life (and his voice in my head). I hope you can salvage some kind of relationship with your sibling, Leo, but don't feel guilty if you cannot. You must do what is most healthy for yourself!

[@pramitbanerjee]

everyone i asked said they didn't have a inner voice. So i thought i was the only one. My inner voice is a separate entity from "me" or my identity. It represents someone who tries to show me the other side of things, who goes beyond emotions and tries to look at base human nature, it is a calm rational being, even when i struggle emotionally my inner voice is calmly understanding the situation and explaining the next step to me (or if i am too emotionally distraught, it tries to calm me down, or tells me to cry because i am only human). I have multiple inner voices sometimes, and some of them are not very helpful. Sometimes when i put my guard down, my "insecure" inner voice takes away, sometimes its my "restless" inner voice. But overall, my inner voice has guided me through the worst days of my childhood, and it has helped me overcome extreme sadness and despair, such that i have matured into what i am now. My inner voice is the only thing that understands "me" or the person i identify myself as. I cherish my inner voice because i know that no one in the physical realm will ever understand my identity as my inner voice. Recently, when i started meditating, i have gained access to a new inner voice. It is a inner voice that sees everything for what it is, it has intense focus and is able to transcend human emotions (or at least that is how i describe it). Sadly, i have spent only a few minutes with this inner voice. If possible, i would like to talk to it more. Inner voices also influence emotions. The negative inner voice especially. Sometimes the inner voice can't do much, in which case i just have to accept myself and the situation i am in.

[@RiceaxeGaming]

+pramitbanerjee Thanks for sharing your story about your inner voice. I myself struggle to let go of things, my prime inner Voice represents the things that I liked hearing, its a rebelish, rightious, empathetic voice that simply wants to change all the bad things and make them good but it often prevents me from doing something that I would like to do in fear of rejection or harming others. I struggle with accepting and letting go, but just like you when I calmed down and are for myself in a quiet environment, there is this voice that tells me, life goes on, bad things happen, everything is going to be allright one way or another. I think its faith of the positive, which also comes from experience. In the End most things turned out okey. Fortunatly most people kind of know, we´re "only" humans" and failing is part of being human. One thing that I miss a lot is that people apologize. Apologizing can help massively to process bad things that happend. My prime inner voice might be such a rebelish one because I for myself perceive our modern society as a bad system that is taking to much time, energy and love from most people

It's so easy to say such things, to offer assistance and compassion. You say it very nonchalant, "We humbly offer this voice, as one of the more helpful ones we might take on board". But it hits deep when you think about it. Whenever I'm in trouble, I can think of this stranger in KZbin, telling me tips on how to be better to myself. Although it might seem like such things wouldn't carry much meaning with them, the fact that someone is willing to just give out empathy, and love in this place fills me with warmth. For someone like me, who can be unbearably rough on myself, is beyond words. Thank you, dear voice.

I have to make big descisions soon that could determine the rest of my life and with each option I have I only see a future filled with stress, doubt and hopelessness. I know I shouldn't listen to these voices but I can't ignore all my negative aspects. I'm scared about my future and I don't know what descisions to make. I can only see a life ahead of me that is a loop of stress. I feel like I'm going to lay on my deathbed being very dissapointed in myself and my life. I just want a happy future, a happy life. I want to be financially stable in the future and still be able to do some fun stuff, but I'm scared it's just going to be a fight to be able to make a living.
