The 'Inner Critic' is a common mental judge for many people. This
function of the so-called 'Super-Ego' is well-known yet still
needs more clarification. I distinguish two types of Super-Ego
and Inner Critic: One is the 'Ideal Self' and makes us do things
we ultimately enjoy. The second is the 'Ought Self' which makes
us do things out of self-imposed obligation and duty - in best
case such a fulfillment leads to pride but not to a vital joy and
satisfaction.
