I know what inner/personal demons are, as a concept, but I'm having a really hard time thinking of specific examples of them. If you're willing to share (it doesn't have to be specific, don't share more than you're comfortable with), what are some inner demons you know of? The only things I can think of that could be considered inner demons are depression, the desire/need to impress others, pride to the point of looking down on others, anger, and fear. I'm struggling to think of more than that (it's for a story I want to write), and I'm also beginning to doubt whether the ones I've thought of could even be considered inner/personal demons. I would really appreciate any suggestions you guys can offer. For reference, and inner/personal demons are personal struggles that people deal with in their own minds.
umm, inner demon, unsure if it is really called for it. but I can be very unsure about myself, not for my looks, relationship but more for work. Am I doing this okay, I want to buy this, but do I have enough money for later. Do I get my contract to continue, with this hours can I still afford my house and my expenses. those things I usually worry about. while mostly I shouldn't worry about. so if is called an inner demon, I ain't sure but for me it is, as I struggle with this, and I truly hate it. I normally never share things about myself online, or at least the minor stuff about my life. whenever someone asks, how you doing, I always say, good or great. even when I'm not. Not that I do not trust them, but more the feeling of, why would they care. They wouldn't care about it, its not their problem. I am curious for this story of yours. good luck with the project
Trauma can be considered an inner demon, too. Intrusive thoughts that refuse to go away, keeping you at their mercy, or memories you try to repress that keep coming up anyway can also be inner demons. I would suggest doing a lot of research of psychology, depression, and topics like these, because they are VERY heavy topics, and can cause pretty bad damage when represented badly or used badly.
Hmmm... my inner demons are usually ones of desire, of temptations to inflict harm physically or verbally~ Other things that can be considered inner demons are loneliness, like you feel detached from your group or society as a whole, greed, wanting everything for yourself, and inaction, not doing anything bad but not doing good either... + - To be honest, I've given in to these inner demons of mine, and I'm quite happy with it, though I feel evil at times~ gihihi Fear on the other hand isn't much of an inner demon, as it can help you at times, so can anger? Just make sure it is a rational fear (as it helps us survive) or a righteous anger (as it helps serve justice)~
