Are you your own friend or your inner hater?

Who criticises you the loudest — you or the people around you?
Check how much positivity you get from your own inner radio — and who's hosting the show.

1. How often do you catch yourself calling yourself “stupid”, even as a joke?

Practically every day — it's background music by now It slips out sometimes, but I quickly shut it down Very rarely — I'm my own friend

2. If something doesn't work out, what's the first thing that comes to mind?

“Well, of course, with an approach like that” — the self-roasting is on “OK, it happens, but I try to sort it out without hysterics” “It's experience, not a reason to put myself down”

3. Who is your main critic?

Me, no question Family or people close to me I support myself — other people's opinions don't bother me much

4. How do you react to compliments?

I think they're just being polite Sometimes I believe them, sometimes not I accept them sincerely and might even add one of my own

5. You forgot something important. What next?

My inner drill sergeant starts yelling “how can you be so irresponsible!” I scold myself a little, but switch quickly I note that it's normal — I'm human, not a robot

6. If someone criticises you, your reaction is:

“They're right, I really can't do anything” I weigh it up, but don't take it all to heart I run it through a filter and don't take it all on faith

7. When you remember your old mistakes…

I'm still ashamed and wind myself up completely I remember them without much emotion I look back with irony: “well done, me!”

8. Your inner monologue most often…

Criticises and belittles Balances: sometimes praises, sometimes scolds Supports me and reminds me of my strengths

9. Is it easy for you to praise yourself out loud?

No, that's completely impossible! Sometimes I can, but it feels awkward Yes, I can acknowledge my successes

10. Imagine your best friend in your situation — what would you say to them?

“Well, you really are a loser…” “It happens, hang in there, it's not a disaster” “You're great — don't overdramatise, just keep going”
