  • A cruel inner voice can harm your mental health without you even realizing it.
  • According to psychologist Lauren Alexander, negative self talk can worsen depression and anxiety and cause low self esteem.
  • By becoming aware of harmful thinking and learning how to be nicer to yourself, you can avoid these negative effects and evolve into a happier, healthier you.
  • Keep watching to learn how to identify five signs that your inner voice is cruel and how to change it from cruel to kind.
  • Number one, personalizing.
  • Psy walked past a group of friends who were laughing and automatically thought, they must be laughing at me.
  • Even though they weren't actually making fun of him, he assumed they were.
  • If you blame yourself for things that probably don't have anything to do with you, this is called personalizing.
  • And it could mean that you have a cruel inner voice.
  • Personalizing is a common type of negative self talk.
  • If you find that you personalize a lot, counselor Heather Tim recommends taking a step back and asking yourself if it's rational to blame yourself or if there's another way to interpret the situation.
  • It's more likely that people were laughing at a joke someone told and not at Psy.
  • Make sure to consider all the possibilities before internalizing negative beliefs.
  • Number two, the absolutist.
  • You get a poor grade in an assignment and think to yourself, I'm stupid.
  • I'll never succeed at school.
  • Why do I bother trying?
  • Dr. Alexander says statements like these are examples of negative inner dialogue that can affect your mental health.
  • Watch out for absolute language like, I always fail or I'll never be good at this.
  • If your thoughts sound like this, it's a sign that your inner voice is cruel.
  • Try to catch yourself in the moment when you notice harmful inner dialogue, then replace it with kinder and more gentle self talk.
  • The confidence killer Negative self talk doesn't only affect your mental health, but it can also impact how successful you are.
  • According to Dr. Elizabeth Scott, a cruel inner voice depletes your confidence and makes it harder for you to reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.
  • Scott suggests coming up with a silly nickname for your cruel inner voice to make it less threatening and to help you recognize that you can disagree with it.
  • This way, the negative thought doesn't have as much power over you.
  • Speaking of nicknames... Number four.
  • The Consistent Karen.
  • Is your inner voice a consistent Karen, nagging with negative self talk all the time and never giving you a break?
  • Having a critical thought about yourself every once in a while is normal and doesn't necessarily mean you have a cruel inner voice.
  • But according to Dr. Alexander, when your inner voice is constantly negative, that's when it becomes a problem and can be damaging.
  • The next time your cruel inner voice tries to bring you down, try taking Counselor Tim and Dr. Scott's advice.
  • Label it with a nickname like Karen or whatever works for you.
  • Then consider whether the thought is true or if there are other possibilities.
  • Think back to the example of getting a bad mark in your assignment.
  • When the cruel inner voice chimes in, here's how you can challenge it.
  • Not today, Karen.
  • I got one poor grade.
  • That doesn't mean I'm stupid.
  • I rushed to finish the assignment the night before I was due, so it's possible that I just didn't spend enough time on it.
  • Next time, I'll plan ahead.
  • I'm smart and capable.
  • Number five.
  • Stealing your thunder.
  • According to counselor David Panahi, a cruel inner voice diminishes your accomplishments.
  • He calls this a yes but mindset.
  • If you give a presentation at work and it goes well, your inner voice might say, sure you did a good job, but you're not prepared for the meeting with your boss tomorrow.
  • Focusing on the bad can prevent us from enjoying the good.
  • Panahi says that you should remember why your inner critic is there in the first place.
  • He points out that negative self talk usually arises to help you avoid the pain of failing or being let down.
  • This insight can help you develop self compassion for your cruel inner voice.
  • Acknowledging it and knowing why it's there is the first step to improving your inner dialogue.
  • We hope this video helped you reflect on the way you talk to yourself.
  • Remember, Psych To Goers, you are loved, and you deserve the same kindness you give to your loved ones.
  • If you wouldn't say it to a friend, then don't say it to yourself.
