The good news is that it can also be changed. You can work on replacing the criticism with more positive statements.

For example: If your inner voice criticizes you for picking the long line you can say something like "I am in the longer line and that's ok. The world isn't going to end because of it, and I'm getting to watch this cute baby play in the buggy in front of me."

Don't be afraid to talk back and compliment your decisions. You don't have to be perfect. Don't only praise perfection. There is something to be appreciated in almost every situation - even if its only that you learned not to do that thing again (and give yourself permission to be entertained by your mistake).


Actually hearing voices is not normal, however, having the criticisms run through your head could be. it depends on your ciricumstances, really. Maybe just try and look at what you do right and take note when people tell you something good about yourself.
Please listen to Gwen..... For you to get over this (and it your brothers sickness NOT yours) for every criticism that pops into your head be ready with a positive statement. In a fairly short time 30-90 days it will become habit and your self-image will begin to soar. You could find a book of "self-affirmations" (not as silly as it sounds) to help you develop positive statements to help you begin. Don't let the old stuff drag you down in today's life. Good luck and keep workin' at it.
Unfortunately yes. My mother often told me that I was no good, because I didn't work as fast as my siblings, was more of a daydreamer etc. Her statement has made me a very driven person and perfectionist.

Fortunately I have found my acceptance in Jesus. He accepts me unconditionally. Also I have a very understanding husband.

You have to talk back to those criticisms of your brother's in your own mind and tell yourself, "I am not weird, I'm unique. Just because I don't fit into your mold doesn't make me worth less." Fill the negative statements of your brother with something positive about yourself, and keep doing it over and over again, until his voice becomes less and less strong.


Only because you have allowed it too. Ignore his negative comments, sounds like your brother is the one that needs to get a life.
