The Critic

"The Critic" is a term used in psychology and self-awareness to describe an internal voice that judges and evaluates your actions, decisions, and worth. It often manifests as self-doubt or harsh judgment, aiming to push you toward better performance but sometimes causing stress or insecurity. Understanding this inner critic helps individuals recognize negative thought patterns and develop healthier, more compassionate self-talk, fostering confidence rather than self-criticism. It is a normal part of human cognition, but managing it effectively can improve mental well-being and personal growth.
