Does it matter whether what your inner critic is saying is true?

Answer 1

That is your moral conscience speaking.
When I hear mine, I simply bitchslap it and shout,
"SHUT THE F*CK UP!"
Then I feel better.

Answer 2

It depends what about, if its a matter of the heart then i usually ignore mine and just go for what the heart says (unfortunately). If about a academic / common sense sort of matter then i usually pay some attention to it, but if my 'inner critic' dumbs down my confidence too much i try and ignore it and just carry on beating it down all the way!
