The part that is convinced everyone will dislike me because I won't meet their expectations is Double More-it always demands I do more.

The author Aziz Gazipura discusses the concept of internal parts, particularly focusing on a critical inner voice he names "Double More." This part of himself is driven by the fear of not meeting others' expectations and constantly urges him to do more, always insisting on doubling his efforts. This creates an overwhelming sense of pressure, making it difficult to feel satisfied or accepted.

Gazipura emphasizes the importance of recognizing and identifying these internal voices. By naming and acknowledging these parts, especially the inner critic, individuals can begin to understand and break-free from the negative thoughts that fuel social anxiety. This self-awareness is crucial for overcoming feelings of inadequacy and improving self-acceptance.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
