A little something about the ego
May 27, 2020
Many of us come to the point, when we acknowledge the real size of our own ego. For some might be a pleasant discovery, for some not so much.
It doesn’t matter, though. Once you know where you stand, you can go into the direction where you’d want to be.
Or nowhere if you’re already there. I’m definitely not there yet. π€¦

Ego in a negative direction is very deadly, and should be watched

Indeed. But not everybody is aware of that. The more ego, the less awareness of its toxicity.

Totally right, and it’s always sad and scary when you occasionally see people with big egos. There’s nothing more freeing than being able to make fun of yourself and seeing how insignificant you are :). Whenever I first meet somebody and see that trait, it’s a very powerful indication of how fun they are going to be to talk to! π

You know when I used to use facebook, I realised that my ego was growing and I was depending more and more on my ego being satisfied for happiness. Man it was terrifying, and I banished facebook from my life! I am open to the idea that perhaps my personality was more prone to having that reaction, or an addictive pattern. Or perhaps that’s just a common experience but not always appreciated, I don’t know.
Now on WordPress I am constantly monitoring for signs of ego creeping in and growing! π and when I feel that, slowing down always helps. There’s nothing better than coming back to a value of purely trying to connect with and help people.

I can relate to most of the things you wrote. Have you noticed your ego being on a different level while being on different meds? I’ve noticed some big changes in relation to this, some meds increase self confidence, some self-awareness and some decrease both. Which can affect your ego tremendously.
