How do I kill the weak boy inside me?

[Eric Tarpall]

Sometimes the weak boy that I used to be pops up and I become him. It's like I'm possessed. This only lasts for a few hours usually. But during those hours it feels like all my personal growth is gone. And I'm back at square one. How do I kill this bastard?

[Rilles]

You dont. You own him. Its your shadow. 

[Salvijus]

With awareness maybe

[nistake]

Pretty much what these guys said.

I think you should just be mindful about it and observe it without any judgement. Check out Leo's video about 'Awareness alone is curative' if you haven't already.

Describe him

[PsiloPutty]

Don't fight him. Welcome, allow and love.    Happens to me too, friend.

[Hellspeed]

You become the weakest first, you get destroyed first, literally crushed in order to discover what bravery and real power is. There is no other way. If you insist on killing that vibe you will become a pussyboy who is always angry, like a 9 year old girl.

You will not graps what power is, unless you become powerless, hopeless first.

Love him to death.

You can switch personalities , but it is hard to explain how it is done, you probably have more then just 2 active personalities.

I share this with you.

My weak alter ego usually shows himself at the most inopportune times. When I am super happy or when I get asked the questions you don't wanna hear from your sexual partner. 

Killing it didn't work for me. Loving it might. Not resisting helps.

You don't kill your inner child, you play with him. And its personality trait is not a weakness, it's a superpower. You're highly sensitive and that's the biggest gift one can have. Polish that diamond!

Love him to death. That's your repressed side, and I guarantee that there's kernels of truth in what you're feeling. Become the watcher, and observe what it may be trying to tell you.  Don't fight it, because it IS part of you.

@Eric Tarpall Who is gonna take his place?

That's a limiting belief.

I think being passive is not going to change anything but I can try it.

Small. Fragile. Weak. Victim. Afraid. Ugly.

You mean like buying him so many chocolates that he gets diabetes and dies?

True! And you can also create any personality you want and become it but it's difficult.

Mine pops up in random moments. Usually when I'm tired & low energy.

The King.

[Sahil Pandit]

@Eric Tarpall Then you must become that, and let the weak boy die off. 
Easier said than done, but good luck.

not integrating your so called bad parts will cause you suffering but if you want to waste 20 years fighting with yourself then be my guest

the fact that you say ”weak boy” instead of saying I Sometimes Feel Weak tells me youre trying to create a schism which is why youre suffering

You don't kill him. Watch this video. She explains why and how the possession by a fragment of your personality happens.

What you do is you meet his needs and he becomes happy and then you're happy!

I think the first thing for you to understand is that this is normal.  We all have this.  This is not unique to you.  A lot of Personal Development is straightening out that idiotic part of ourselves that seems to be marching to its own drum.  That's our starting condition.  We have these conflicted natures.  On the one hand our Minds are very wise, and on the other hand our Minds seem to be driving us in counter-productive directions.  This is the ultimate problem that Personal Development solves.  The problem is how do I accept myself and correct myself in the optimal way?  Notice there's an "and" in there not an "or -- it's accept and correct.  You need both.  It's not accept or correct!
