I submit that this talk is not "you" speaking, but rather represents the collective voices of your abusers throughout the years. It sounds like these people have always been brutal to you, and have gotten themselves internalized into your mind.

I do think that a good plan is to notice ("there you go again") but ignore these endless abusers, and not take them to heart.
