One of the best short movies I seen. I can confirm most things are like that. Even when I battle depression and anxiety it always returns to spit into my face the next morning.

[@kathyr1592]

Lukas, that's so sad. I hope things are better for you now.

[@yourbarista4154]

It’s a daily battle oftentimes.

[@handsomelyerin]

Lewis trying not to laugh at 1:55 is so adorable 🥺

[@TheAdeybob]

this liberating film is going to convince a *lot* of viewers that they're not abnormal. I swear, after watching this short, I feel like I've been cuddled after scraping my knee.

[@pradipnalodh]

Wonderful movie. What I took away from this is that the voice in your head depends on how you look at life. When the protagonist of the story finally allowed the pessimistic voice of his head to let go, he felt happy, confident and positive. The voice in his head was still there but it was not pessimistic anymore, he met the optimistic side of his voice waiting for him at the roadside. Amazing concept, congratulations to the cast.

[@zeeshanalisoomro8862]

Sure, I can relate to it a lot. That's me, that's literally me. And I couldn't help but burst into laughter when he told him that his penis was small 😂😂😂🤣 A hilarious and great moral based short film.

[@johnespino886]

That he let him back in... oh gosh what truth.

[@davidbrown1566]

The unfortunate reality for some is that the devil you know is better than the one you don’t. Eventually even these harmful thoughts can become familiar comfort. Only really competent professional help can empower one to close the door.

[@timmycrackz]

​@@davidbrown1566 I think you may have missed the point of the ending. He didn't let the voice in his head back in per se, but he invited in his new perspective. The point being....we need the voice in our head. We just don't need it to be as it was in the beginning of the short. In the beginning the voice controlled him, also he didn't understand the reality of the voice. He saw the voice as himself. He also saw it as, quite literally and contradictory, un-real. It took another person to tell him that the voice isn't real. But that's the catch, the voice is real, it just doesn't always guide us in truth. But we need the inner voice as it does guide us. It does serve purpose and while it is not us, it is a part of us. Once it's true nature is realized, it won't be the same as before. It won't wield the control it once had and thus the new relationship begins....

[@davidbrown1566]

@@timmycrackz . Hmmmm Timothy. Thanks for your perspective but I missed nothing. It is a fundamental acknowledgement of psychotherapy that ‘ old habits die hard’ . Attempting to camouflage harmful thoughts by over intellectualizing may distract momentarily but will ultimately be unhelpful in achieving emotional resolution. But thanks for taking the time to engage. 🙏🏻david

Dude... this right here. This is what it’s like. Goddamn demon in my ear.

[@jtreal]

That negative voice inside your head can rule your life, but once you learn your own self worth, self-esteem comes next, then only you can accept it, and finally control it. 👍👍

[@gemstar7286]

Yet he still let the "voice" back into his car which makes no sense

[@AudioJack321]

@@gemstar7286 cuz even after all that. He forgave his voice for being so toxic. Kind of like forgiving yourself, I think?

[@Concetta20]

That was very clever, making it literal guy but still making a figurative point about negative self-talk. 👏🏻

[@BrunoKabahizi]

It takes a lot of practice to stop hating yourself if it's something you grew up doing, can't expect it go away in one day.

[@Davran2742]

So happy when it was sent away, and so sad when it was accepted back. Maybe the analogy is that one has to confront it oneself, and it can't be sent away by anyone else.

[@plutobeliever]

...making peace with the voices...wonderful story...

[@elchasai]

it often is like that, just takes one event, one person, to knock that voice out of your head

[@valerio51987]

it's not about knocking out the voice but accepting it as a part of you that needs comprehension

[@elchasai]

@@valerio51987 well you know interpretations and opinions and assumptions and all that.

[@valerio51987]

@@elchasai I am just saying I don't think is about getting rid of a so called "negative voice". The end is quite clear about accepting the inner part that usually made you feel uncomfortable just because you didn't want to look at it or to consider it as a real thing, with its own needs. This short movie is not using metaphors, it translates literally the meanings and symbols without even hiding them under the appearance. I don't see anyone knocking out anything here.

That is called a friend.

[@Dreamcatcher7659-c2z]

Ok I should admit..that I have to go through comment section to actually get the message this short film was telling...bt now after getting what it is all about..I feel like relating to it...voices in our head rises higher and higher and make us over thinker and a worrier...we turns more impatient, irritable towards other ppl...has serious trust issues...bt at some point of life...ppl like Julia come and help us get out of our head...bt then as we start trusting, becoming more patient and humble...we get a new voice in our head, reviewing our new selfes again!!! It’s complicated..bt feel me?

[@sharyonanita]

"I once slapped Octavia Butler's youngest nephew" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@megchippendale529]

The way I seen is we don't have an inner voice that is our own. It is only that of the voices, words and actions of those around us and who we choose to let in.

[@SBG420]

Everytime i walking past someone i say to myself ''Walk Normal"

[@sebastian_niegoh]

Why is this so relatable

[@desiredecove5815]

Cause we all have that “ voice” in our head that makes us doubt how awesome we could be.

[@detrajackson5992]

Nope. As he came walking, I would have zoomed off while tooting the horn an flipping him the BIRD!!!!

[@Dramadonia]

I swear I though that's what he was going to do but it seems he made peace with the voices in his head. Sometimes you have to do that, other times it's best to let go.

[@yunusmohamed4072]

Loyal to the voice in hes head.

[@AudioJack321]

You can be honest with yourself without being a dick about it. And sometimes the voice needs to go away for awhile if it's gonna be so negative. Action will prove it wrong, once there's action theres a time to change your mind about something. Like " see this is nice actually, I shouldn't be so worried about avoiding this." Or other positive affirmations (choose your own) but they're typically more effective while your in the act of doing something related to the thought. Also purposely thinking of your to do list while board or idle is an easy motivation. Some people write down their to do lists. Knocking out your to do list gives you something to do(obviously) but it's also positive for your value of life in other words, it empowers you.
