It's a concept I just can't grasp ...inner anything.

For little goofs, I can shake them off, laugh them off, but more serious mistakes, ones that could negatively impact someone, or myself, or when it results in someone being upset with me, those I can't handle, they trigger me big time.
In my case, my inner critic, it's me, but it's me internally verbalizing things that were said to me when I was 5, or 6, or 8 (big one there), or 10 (a really bad year), and on and on. For the most part, it's my father's words, but it's also school days bullies, and in a few cases some of my siblings.
