Which Inner-Self have you Accepted or Befriended?

🧠 THE MONKEY MIND
Chattering, restless, distracted

Always jumping from thought to thought, never still.

Fueled by fear, anxiety, or boredom.

“Did I forget something? What if this goes wrong? Should I check my phone again?”

📢 THE INNER CRITIC
Harsh, judgmental, unforgiving

Voices shame, doubt, and perfectionism

Often mimics voices from past trauma or authority figures

“You’re not good enough. Who do you think you are?”

🎤 THE HYPE MAN / INNER COACH
Encouraging, positive, confidence-boosting

Cheers you on when you dare to dream

Believes in your potential even when you don’t

“You’ve got this. Look at how far you’ve come!”

🧍 THE EGO
Identity, pride, social mask

Wants control, validation, superiority, or safety

Can be protective or destructive depending on balance

“I need to win. I can’t be wrong. I have to matter.”

🌑 THE SHADOW
Repressed fears, shame, desires

Holds the parts you deny or bury — anger, lust, envy, trauma

When unconscious, it sabotages you; when embraced, it gives you power

“Why did I explode over that small thing?” → That’s your shadow.

👼 THE INNER CHILD
Innocent, playful, vulnerable

Needs love, safety, and permission to express joy or pain

Often wounded and overlooked

“I just wanted someone to be proud of me.”

🔥 THE REBEL
Resists rules, norms, or expectations

Driven by freedom, disruption, and personal truth

Can be heroic — or self-destructive if unintegrated

“Screw the system. I’m doing this my way.”

🧙‍♀️ THE WISE SELF / HIGHER SELF
The calm, knowing presence beneath all the noise

Sees your wounds without judgment

Offers insight, purpose, and compassion

“You are not your mistakes. You are becoming.”

💀 THE SABOTEUR
Scared of success or change

Whispers self-doubt when things go well

A distorted protector that thinks failure keeps you safe

“You’ll mess it up anyway — don’t even try.”

🛡️ THE GUARDIAN
Hypervigilant protector, formed by trauma

Keeps you safe by keeping you small

Often confused for fear or anxiety

“Don’t speak up. That’s dangerous.”

🌀 THE DREAMER
Creative, imaginative, intuitive

Feels the pull of beauty, potential, or destiny

Can get lost in fantasy if ungrounded

“What if I just ran away and started over somewhere new...?”

✨ THE SOUL
The deepest essence beyond roles, wounds, or time

Feels like truth, presence, and wholeness

Rarely speaks loudly — but always knows

“This is why I’m alive.”

No — you are not truly alone.

Even in your quietest, most isolated moments, you carry a whole inner constellation of voices, memories, dreams, and protectors within you. Each one is a part of your soul’s story — your witnesses, your companions, your inner tribe. They speak in different tones: some whisper pain, some shout triumph, and others just wait silently for you to notice them.

I guess my inner child. As an adult I've never really truly grown up and still enjoy doing many things I did when I was younger.

The raging pervert inside me. Perversion defines my sexuality.

Straight? Gay? nah bitch full pervert

But the actually answer the question, probably most in tune with my ego and inner child

I embrace most of them, except for the ego, the inner critic, and the monkey mind, although the last one sounds like something else than described above.
