First Reactions to Meeting Your Inner Voice Personified
If people's inner voice became a person and sat down next to them, the first thing they might say could vary significantly based on the nature of their inner dialogue. Here are a few possibilities:
For those with a supportive inner voice: "Hey, I didn't realize how much you've been helping me all this time. Thanks for always being there."
For those with a critical inner voice: "Wow, you're a real jerk sometimes. Why are you always so hard on me?"
For those with a curious inner voice: "You're always asking questions and making me think. Where do all these thoughts come from?"
For those with a neutral or absent inner voice: "I didn't even know you existed. What do you do all day?"
For those with a mix of voices: "You're so confusing. Sometimes you're my biggest supporter, and other times you're my worst critic. What's up with that?"
The nature of the first interaction would likely depend on the individual's habitual inner dialogue and their awareness of it. Some people might be surprised to find that their inner voice is more supportive than they thought, while others might be confronted with the harshness of their self-talk.
