There's no specialty. And I definitely know I'm not always right cause sometimes I've some sorta self hatred. I think I am some kind of egotistical towards other toxic egoists. As if I'm trying defeat the monster by being an even superior monster myself while being right. So I try to set the bar high of my sense of empathy towards my fellow humans to reduce the sense of ego. I then feel sorry for them for being soo wrong of petting such toxicity in their hearts.

another sign of developing a large ego: low self esteem. many people with low self esteem develop egos despite hating themselves, because they need to defend their emotions. learning how to accept yourself does far more than hating yourself
Im srry but i gotta disagree, having an ego is just having a immense amount of self confidence, it's not false confidence. To put it short knowing your self worth and ignoring all your down sides resulting in the reason you belive you're better than others.
Except that part of not liking when other ppl succeed, everything else is me.......thank you psych2go.....I always knew deep inside that my thought process is wrong but could never face myself....thank you

The biggest sign for me that I strugglenwith controlling my ego is that I sense egotistic behavior in everyone around me and despise it. It bugs me so much when others make identity-centered decisions and make everything abiut themselves. But what you hate in others is usually something you hate yourself for. Liberating yourself from your ego is a long and hard process but I think we can get there. At least I hope we can.
@Bella Brielle it's really not funny my brother is a sadist who enjoys using me as his punching bag when he isn't making me do everything for his dog and I'm convinced my mum hates me because I'm a constant reminder of my dad since she decided to name me after him oh and I'm trans autistic and I have Borderline Personality Disorder
I have ego problems… and they have become more covert as I’ve gotten older. For instance, I think I am ‘better’ than other because I don’t care about ‘material’ things or success in the traditional sense. I am 27 now and realizing how badly this mindset has affected me. Trying to get better currently but it’s difficult.
I used to be like that but one person in particular changed my perspective. You don't always have to be right, you don't always have to feel frustrated about someone else. Other people have other opinions than you and that's going to change. Now, about the one that says "you want to bebetter than anyone else, you deserve the same or even more than others", to me this might have been a problem I had as a kid. See, my parents, especially my mom, loved comparing me to my brother or even other kids my age. And yeah...self-confidence drops. Bullying was another aspect. Not having a social circle was also one. I believe that your ego develops with how you were growing up, how the nature you lived in affected you. I still do feel like I can be better but I have said to myself that I'm not gonna become the best at something, because someone out there is better than me at that something.
Just a small correction, "Ego" actually does not translate to "I" or "me" in Latin; it only translates to "I." Latin absolutely loves changing words/endings of words depending on what part of the sentence they are, and I/me is no exception. Actually, it changes just the same way in English (though in English, most nouns don't do this and in Latin all do); when the speaker is the subject of the sentence (I see, I go, etc.), we use "I", and in Latin, we use "Ego" (Ego video, Ego eo, etc.). When the speaker is the subject of the sentence, in English we use "me" (They see me, They go to me, etc.) and in Latin, we use "me" (Me vident, Ad me eunt, etc.). Not that this matters at all, but I felt like commenting it just for fun, because I'm a nerd who thinks this stuff is interesting, and I thought maybe someone else would too. Valete! < 3
For the past 2 years I thought I was being confident and finally knowing my worth. Turns out it was my ego. I just got tired of being the average guy and being the loser. Once I’ve tasted victory, It became my addiction
Omg I’m so egotistical. It’s ruining my relationship. I get so triggered about what other people want to do . I feel like I deserve so much attention and affection and I get angry and sad if I don’t get it . I can honestly say that my ego is huge because it protects me . But it actually has been destroying me
The difference between a narcissist and a person who is just very confident with them-self is that the narcissistic will drag others down to make themselves look better but the person who is just self confident won’t💕
So to kill ur ego the only solution is : work on ur low self esteem . love ur self in every step and tht will gv u natural confidence . tht way ull understand others too and will stop comparing urself to thm
Honestly, I’ve noticed that many of my high school peers struggle especially with signs 2-5. I do think it’s really great seeing many young people striving to do the absolute best they can in school, but it’s best to do so to actually learn and grow as a student and human being rather than to use academic success just to impress teachers, peers, college admissions officers, etc.
So um I just wanna thank y'all, I've been feeling depressed for a couple years and just masked it. I stopped caring about myself,I stopped brushing my teeth, I stopped eating as much. A few weeks ago I had an Infection because of it. I then realized that people care about me and that I shouldn't let what people say get to me. My Infection is gone now and I have started to take better care of myself. This chanalle* helped me tell my mom that I feel depressed. We are going to get proper help from my doctor. I just wanted to say thank you for helping me, you helped me out alot. I hope you inspire more people to get the help they need.
Most people around me tell me that I demand too much from myself, and recently with therapy I've come to realize that I don't think it's ever enough. Weird to think it might boil down to ego since I've lost so much self esteem, but I guess those two are different. Self esteem is healthy, ego is only for appearances. I have a long way to go to change this.
There was this dude that would always say how every single thing was trash because it was corky and that he was a superior begin whose sole purpose of existence was leading intellectuals into the right choices, It was a f**king litetature content channel :/
To anyone who watches this video from now on I hope you see this. The problem isn't your ego, its your lack of it. Its not a good thought process to simply try to become the best, instead crush those who stand in your way, (those that are worse at what you do than you are). Now put yourself in an environment where there are other people with this big ego, then crush them, now you are the best no questions asked. At first you need to think you are the best, then you need to prove it. My soul is awake, I no longer waver, because I know no one can compare to me.
Dear anyone reading this, I know life is hard on your side. You feel like giving up, you feel like letting go of your dreams and gliding to stay low-key. I want to let you know that you are a beast inside, you have the fire in you to blaze your fear and inner voice. I visited the future yesterday and all I saw was YOU living your dreams. I wish you good health, wisdom and prosperity in your success journey. Love From a Small RUclipsr. ❤
My ego came from people trying to put me down so I felt like I had to defend myself. It got to a point where it got out of control and I was starting to become it. I’m glad I caught on to it.
Well im pretty glad i don’t fit the descriptions! I’m pretty proud of myself now actually because it seems that how I’ve been working on myself and meditating and being mindful keeps the ego in check! Good luck with anyone out their dealing with these issues. I hope you will feel better with yourself soon, truly. I would recommend journaling, it does wonders for introspection. It helps me so much
I noticed some of these signs are the same things my husband does. He doesn't do all of them, but half of them yes. So does his mother. Apple doesn't fall from the tree it seems. Trying to teach him empathy. Slow process but it's going
@@Weird_dude265 ...no. I love him far more. And I know he loves me. He's betrayed everything he was raised to be, just so he can be with me. He's an insane narcissist with a slight ego, but he bends for me when I'm hurt. He recognizes he did something wrong and tries to learn from it. Honestly I'm lucky to have someone as amazing as him. So thanks, but no thanks.
I used to feel constant disappointment in myself, and that I wasn't good enough for me to be happy with myself, but then I started to get good at school, and I got more confidence. I thought that it led to an ego, but it's just confidence.
What’s crazy is I’ve seen these traits in people in positions of leadership. It’s sad thinking back on how relationships have ended and it can all be prevented if we checked our egos. I would add people that need to be another persons saving grace.
I'm genuinely so happy that I watched this vidio. I've been questioning if my ego was big for weeks and this vidio concerned it. I can fially recognise and defeat it!
good on you guys I saw this in myself 7 years ago. I didn't make a mindful effort to change myself every day... now my life is destroyed. read bible Proverbs. good wisdom in there. changes the mind
Hey, I hope all of you are doing well! Remember that no one is perfect and that we can always improve! Even I’m afraid to admit that I kind of relate to these signs.
This is so true! I lived 10 years with a narcisistic and all these signs were there, and almost destroyed my life. Finally I had the courage and strength to break through his chains, but I atill have emotional issues, so seeing a therapist to find myself, who I am. I am learning to stop telling myself his lies, and tell myself the truth. God saved me just before I did harm myself, because I didn't want to live anymore...
Narcissists be like this if you dare to show them what kind of person they really are: " you are so funny. I'm not the one calling people "freak" and "idiot"! And no I'm not comfortable at all. Your words hurt quite a bit! I'm not a victim of a horrible person, I'm a victim of and emotionally immature person who has to belittle and dehumanize people make themselves feel better. None of my comments are invalidating, insulting, or bullying of any sort. All of yours are. I understand I'm not doing Grey Rock properly because you're still enticing emotions, but that's exactly what your comments are designed to do, so that you can get the emotional reaction for Supply. I hope it makes you feel so much better because it makes me feel like total crap. Is that enough of an emotional reaction for you???? " Narcissists live from their "talent" to make it look, as if their view is down to earth and not just judgement, based on an isolated view.
There's genuinely a lot of the wrong people (incompetent types) succeeding because of being in the right place at the right time and maybe having the right connections, and this is something I find infuriating.
I only have 1 thing on this list which is, sometimes I be jealous when other people succeed, not all the time but it's mostly if they have succeeded in something I have wanted to do.
I guess change the purpose of the goal you want to achieve. Example: if you want to get good grades in school do cause you want to get to know a subject well rather than proving that you are better than everyone else. Also try and accept your inadequacies so that you wont have to overcompensate in a panic that somebody will realise them. Hope it helps
Honestly just embrace the fact that there is always someone better, it DOESN'T take away anything from you as an individual. I have an ultra competitive mindset, but I realise life isn't a game and the best thing for me is to compete against myself and be the best I can be; relative to myself. If that makes sense?
I failed an exam that i was too confident about. But i remember that before taking the exam, i set a goal that i would do better than my friends, who, to me, are certified geniuses. After taking the exam, I was frustrated because of my bad performance. But what really hit me was the smile on my friends faces, who had definitely gotten a better score than me. That's where my ego came to "eat" me, and as such, i broke down. I became very aggressive and shouted out of anger. My mind never had felt soo heavy, because i was mad for failing an exam i was confident about, amd jealous that my friends, whom i wanted to be better than, had already passed.I dont think iv ever broken down that bad before, but thats where i realised how big my ego was. I really dont know how to control it because this jealousy and feeling of unachivement really pushes me to act savagely. Iv also come to realise that i put really high standards for myself, thinking that i am capable of such standards just because other people are 😔
I always just thought i had a normal ego and just acted better than everyone for comedic effect, coping, and personality, This video really enlightened me
I just realized that I am egotistical and I had the thought that I might be egotistical in the back of my mind because of my friends but it wasn't until I watched this video, and related to everything in it that I really saw my massive ego. I want to get rid of my nasty ego, do you guys have any suggestions? They would be very helpful and much appreciated, thanks to everyone who gives me any tips/ suggestions.
This really helped me, ive through out mu whole life had a bloated ego and always wanted to achieve somethijg unrealistic, i always envied others for their accomplishments and success, this video helped me so much, Thank you.
This was me back then it was hard to identify my ego especially the part of unrealistic expectation because I was just afraid to be rejected back then. Now I learned to do what's right and not to listen to the interests of others.
The trick is to accept that you _will_ make mistakes and are not perfect. That's just part of being human! An inflated ego is triggered whenever we see, or are forced to see, something we did wrong. The inflated ego recoils, and tries to make excuses to avoid the negative feeling that our self-image is flawed in any way, leading to narcissistic behaviour. But if you accept that mistakes are truly inevitable, _because you are only human,_ and integrate that acceptance into your self-image, then your ego won't recoil from the realisation that your self-image and reality don't match. Then it becomes easier to say you're sorry to those you hurt, because you know that making mistakes is just part of being you, and it's now also easier to focus to improving yourself. Think of yourself as a work-in-progress, and when the real world exposes yet another of your inevitable flaws, fix the damage (say you are sorry), but also feel grateful for yet another chance at self improvement. Now you know what you have to work on to be a better person tomorrow! Of course you will never be perfect, but you now accept this, and you are always trying to travel in the direction of self-improvement. Does that help? In any case, please have a wonderful day! 😊 👍
@@pauligrossinoz Hi Paul, i just happened to come across your comment and it helped me a lot as i was finding that sorry seems to be the hardest word and I cant say it to my loved ones since my ego is huge. I've come to realise it's now the time to look back on myself and change for the better, thank you so much for your comment you really made my day. I wish you all the best 😊🤗
I have one question: if seeing other people succeed makes u think u cannot do anything, also means you have a big ego (question related to the 5th point)
I feel the same damn way! When I see other succeed, I dont think that I deserved it instead. I just think that Im nothing compared to them and that they are better than me so I start feeling jealous.
I would love to hear the community's take on the difference between a person with an inflated ego and someone who is confident and opinionated. That is to say, a person who will state and defend their opinion with logic/research/etc. but will also admit when they are wrong vs. the type of person described in the video. Any ideas why they're perceived to be the same?
I've been self afflicting myself as I can't determine whether I have a bloated ego or not, but I believe I might now. I notice that I love seeing other people succeed and accomplish stuff, and I hate compliments. As a Kid i was declared Gifted and always did good in all my classes up to middle school. But I hated attention and never wanted to be a "Nerd." So in High School I purposely didn't try and acted dumb amongst peers, and slowly started creating a "i don't need school to succeed" mindset. But where I can't determine whether I have a bloated ego is when someone says i can't accomplish or achieve something, because that just triggers something in me to prove them wrong and it gives me more motivation to achieve a certain task. For example, after acting dumb and constantly sleeping in math class, a friend started to put herself on top of a pedestal while slowly throwing jabs at me insinuating that I was lazy and dumb. So in my mind I would say "if only u knew," and thats when I started trying on my tests and constantly get A's. But I never showed her because I don't like making others feel bad, but it did bring me pride knowing I was smarter and still had it. I'm just saying all this because I'm interested in what you guys think.
Maybe I do have bloated ego, but I don't lack empathy, because I only want peace with other people. And my high intelligence and lack of friends is the reason I have huge amounts of ego.
Anyone who says they have "high intelligence" is arrogant and egotistical af. I've talked to extremely smart people who practiced humility. Get over yourself.
Years ago I was a HARDCORE egotist as described in this video...however now that I am aware of my own egotistic tendencies I've learned to (sometimes) reign it in a bit. However now that empty vacuum where the egotism once resided has been replaced with cynicism. Rather than feeling like I'm on top of the world...I instead feel like the world is a pile of trash and I'm trapped in it. I WANT others to succeed, but when I constantly see them failing I blame either society for not letting success be an option, or if they failed because of something I told them not to do I scorn them for not heeding my warning (often it's a mistake I once made and wanted to help others avoid...but apparently I'm surrounded by people just as stubborn as me.) condolence
I've been trying to control my ego a lot as I got older. If before I always wanted more, now I choose to want more only if its beneficial in the long run. I get jealous if people get success but not to the point of hate, but jealous that makes me want to work harder and believe that I can achieve something like them too. It's all about changing those thoughts into something better.
I relate to a few of the points here, and seeing people talk about low self-esteem in the comments, I relate to that somewhat too. Course, my mental state is one that is nigh unnavigable. I have no clue how I tick, or why, and no ways to find out.
I had a depression for 2 years and i have found out one of the main problems. I had 0.nada ego. It was sow low that i has gone into negativity that i thought others are more worth then me so i never complained about things that i thought were wrong. But since i have increased my ego , i stood up to my france teacher that was treating me very bad and was always making me look bad in the class. And after i confronted her infront of our whole class she did what she could do best and screamed at me. Long story short she had to apologize and i think that really increased my ego a little bit to much. But it worked with my school notes and that i dont let myself push around anymore it gave me more self confidence. This overself confidence made me reach thinks i couldnt reach be4 like writing a+ because it made me study every day after school so i would be the best. Before this i always wrote d and e. An official iq test 15 years ago sayed that i have an iq that is much far above average sayed and i think that extra ego made me use everything i had i guess and it worked. Ill even meet our president of germany in february because of a project ill have finished in january :). Its kinda ironic but i think what depressed people need, is a big chunk of ego it is increasing self confidence. Not to much but still a big chunk. It makes you feel like you are worth A LOT more then u thought.
As soon as people allow their ego to prove are better than others..the game is over.. no one can compete with anyone else. no two people are the same..as long as people point fingers at each other no one wins
I, as an INTP, always have to be right. I can change my mind tho, if I am proofen wrong. Beeing right and having confidence in my knowledge and opinion is just a big pillar of my personality.
Ok here is my first time realizing that im egotistical. I just destroyed the startup I founded because I didnt realize how bad I was treating my cofounders. Now thinking in retrospect, it's really bad. I always feel the need to be right, even in personal relationships. I always want more in terms of business. I had a great year this past year, and now I want more at the expense of my family suffering by me not spending time with them or showing them that I value them. I definitely lack empathy. I focus on myself and what I want to do. I do have a high level of confidence and that is due in large part to my accomplishments and skills that I've acquired. But fml that is not an excuse to disrespect people, I have a lot of work to do. I need to do a lot of deep work to learn about myself deepes and be fucking normal instead of a trashbag. Today is the first day I start killing my ego.
I have a big ego but I’m not a narcissist. I always feel really bad about someone else’s failures and I typically don’t fault them for anything. But I did assume the same for myself…

"Big ego, small d"

What if it's your girlfriend though

@@lamargames3940 what about big ego big boys 😂
I used to be like that but one person in particular changed my perspective. You don't always have to be right, you don't always have to feel frustrated about someone else. Other people have other opinions than you and that's going to change.
Now, about the one that says "you want to bebetter than anyone else, you deserve the same or even more than others", to me this might have been a problem I had as a kid. See, my parents, especially my mom, loved comparing me to my brother or even other kids my age. And yeah...self-confidence drops. Bullying was another aspect. Not having a social circle was also one. I believe that your ego develops with how you were growing up, how the nature you lived in affected you. I still do feel like I can be better but I have said to myself that I'm not gonna become the best at something, because someone out there is better than me at that something.
Just a small correction, "Ego" actually does not translate to "I" or "me" in Latin; it only translates to "I." Latin absolutely loves changing words/endings of words depending on what part of the sentence they are, and I/me is no exception. Actually, it changes just the same way in English (though in English, most nouns don't do this and in Latin all do); when the speaker is the subject of the sentence (I see, I go, etc.), we use "I", and in Latin, we use "Ego" (Ego video, Ego eo, etc.). When the speaker is the subject of the sentence, in English we use "me" (They see me, They go to me, etc.) and in Latin, we use "me" (Me vident, Ad me eunt, etc.).
Not that this matters at all, but I felt like commenting it just for fun, because I'm a nerd who thinks this stuff is interesting, and I thought maybe someone else would too. Valete! < 3
I am a nerd, and yes that was actually surprisingly interesting. So thanks :D
Okk I just read the first two sentences, but how seeing the number of letters you typed just convinced me to like your comment
cute hhaha
Yea
Every langauge make no sense but every lnguage is in human langauge
@@lyonidus3073 I'm glad you found it interesting, haha. :)
For the past 2 years I thought I was being confident and finally knowing my worth. Turns out it was my ego. I just got tired of being the average guy and being the loser. Once I’ve tasted victory, It became my addiction

Dang it.. I relate to most of these..
I am struggling with narcissistic traits. This video was helpful thank you
Omg I’m so egotistical. It’s ruining my relationship. I get so triggered about what other people want to do . I feel like I deserve so much attention and affection and I get angry and sad if I don’t get it . I can honestly say that my ego is huge because it protects me . But it actually has been destroying me
Strongly relate.. :(
The difference between a narcissist and a person who is just very confident with them-self is that the narcissistic will drag others down to make themselves look better but the person who is just self confident won’t💕
So to kill ur ego the only solution is : work on ur low self esteem . love ur self in every step and tht will gv u natural confidence . tht way ull understand others too and will stop comparing urself to thm
Thank you
Your voice is calming and soothing. Thank you for your tips
Honestly, I’ve noticed that many of my high school peers struggle especially with signs 2-5. I do think it’s really great seeing many young people striving to do the absolute best they can in school, but it’s best to do so to actually learn and grow as a student and human being rather than to use academic success just to impress teachers, peers, college admissions officers, etc.
So um I just wanna thank y'all, I've been feeling depressed for a couple years and just masked it. I stopped caring about myself,I stopped brushing my teeth, I stopped eating as much. A few weeks ago I had an Infection because of it. I then realized that people care about me and that I shouldn't let what people say get to me. My Infection is gone now and I have started to take better care of myself. This chanalle* helped me tell my mom that I feel depressed. We are going to get proper help from my doctor. I just wanted to say thank you for helping me, you helped me out alot. I hope you inspire more people to get the help they need.
Most people around me tell me that I demand too much from myself, and recently with therapy I've come to realize that I don't think it's ever enough. Weird to think it might boil down to ego since I've lost so much self esteem, but I guess those two are different. Self esteem is healthy, ego is only for appearances. I have a long way to go to change this.
Honestly, a few of these are traits of me, like lacking empathy and wanting to be the best. I'm actually quite aware of this.
There was this dude that would always say how every single thing was trash because it was corky and that he was a superior begin whose sole purpose of existence was leading intellectuals into the right choices,
It was a f**king litetature content channel :/
To anyone who watches this video from now on I hope you see this. The problem isn't your ego, its your lack of it. Its not a good thought process to simply try to become the best, instead crush those who stand in your way, (those that are worse at what you do than you are). Now put yourself in an environment where there are other people with this big ego, then crush them, now you are the best no questions asked. At first you need to think you are the best, then you need to prove it. My soul is awake, I no longer waver, because I know no one can compare to me.
Dear anyone reading this, I know life is hard on your side. You feel like giving up, you feel like letting go of your dreams and gliding to stay low-key.
I want to let you know that you are a beast inside, you have the fire in you to blaze your fear and inner voice. I visited the future yesterday and all I saw was YOU living your dreams. I wish you good health, wisdom and prosperity in your success journey.

My ego came from people trying to put me down so I felt like I had to defend myself. It got to a point where it got out of control and I was starting to become it. I’m glad I caught on to it.
Watching Pysch2go's videos fulfill my day.
Well im pretty glad i don’t fit the descriptions! I’m pretty proud of myself now actually because it seems that how I’ve been working on myself and meditating and being mindful keeps the ego in check! Good luck with anyone out their dealing with these issues. I hope you will feel better with yourself soon, truly. I would recommend journaling, it does wonders for introspection. It helps me so much
I noticed some of these signs are the same things my husband does. He doesn't do all of them, but half of them yes. So does his mother. Apple doesn't fall from the tree it seems. Trying to teach him empathy. Slow process but it's going
You should just leave him.
@@Weird_dude265 ...no. I love him far more. And I know he loves me. He's betrayed everything he was raised to be, just so he can be with me. He's an insane narcissist with a slight ego, but he bends for me when I'm hurt. He recognizes he did something wrong and tries to learn from it. Honestly I'm lucky to have someone as amazing as him.
So thanks, but no thanks.
@@elephanty8857 It sounds like you have low self esteem and you're in an abusive relationship.
@@Weird_dude265 k
I used to feel constant disappointment in myself, and that I wasn't good enough for me to be happy with myself, but then I started to get good at school, and I got more confidence. I thought that it led to an ego, but it's just confidence.

Holy hell this describes me PERFECTLY. And now I realize I really do have a bloated ego and I let it control my life decisions and reactions
What’s crazy is I’ve seen these traits in people in positions of leadership. It’s sad thinking back on how relationships have ended and it can all be prevented if we checked our egos. I would add people that need to be another persons saving grace.
same
I'm genuinely so happy that I watched this vidio. I've been questioning if my ego was big for weeks and this vidio concerned it. I can fially recognise and defeat it!
im scared how almost all of this hits hard
Same here. This video described me perfectly. Now, I plan to clean up my act.
good on you guys
I saw this in myself 7 years ago.
I didn't make a mindful effort to change myself every day...
now my life is destroyed.
read bible Proverbs. good wisdom in there. changes the mind
People say I have a big ego, I don't know wtf they are talking about, this is the reason I'm here watching this video.
Hey, I hope all of you are doing well! Remember that no one is perfect and that we can always improve! Even I’m afraid to admit that I kind of relate to these signs.
This is so true! I lived 10 years with a narcisistic and all these signs were there, and almost destroyed my life. Finally I had the courage and strength to break through his chains, but I atill have emotional issues, so seeing a therapist to find myself, who I am. I am learning to stop telling myself his lies, and tell myself the truth. God saved me just before I did harm myself, because I didn't want to live anymore...

Thank you so much and you too! Take care ~
Narcissists be like this if you dare to show them what kind of person they really are: " you are so funny. I'm not the one calling people "freak" and "idiot"! And no I'm not comfortable at all. Your words hurt quite a bit! I'm not a victim of a horrible person, I'm a victim of and emotionally immature person who has to belittle and dehumanize people make themselves feel better. None of my comments are invalidating, insulting, or bullying of any sort. All of yours are. I understand I'm not doing Grey Rock properly because you're still enticing emotions, but that's exactly what your comments are designed to do, so that you can get the emotional reaction for Supply. I hope it makes you feel so much better because it makes me feel like total crap. Is that enough of an emotional reaction for you???? " Narcissists live from their "talent" to make it look, as if their view is down to earth and not just judgement, based on an isolated view.
There's genuinely a lot of the wrong people (incompetent types) succeeding because of being in the right place at the right time and maybe having the right connections, and this is something I find infuriating.
I only have 1 thing on this list which is, sometimes I be jealous when other people succeed, not all the time but it's mostly if they have succeeded in something I have wanted to do.
“fear of someone bering better than you” how does one stop this
I guess change the purpose of the goal you want to achieve. Example: if you want to get good grades in school do cause you want to get to know a subject well rather than proving that you are better than everyone else. Also try and accept your inadequacies so that you wont have to overcompensate in a panic that somebody will realise them. Hope it helps
Just be better than everyone else.
Honestly just embrace the fact that there is always someone better, it DOESN'T take away anything from you as an individual.
I have an ultra competitive mindset, but I realise life isn't a game and the best thing for me is to compete against myself and be the best I can be; relative to myself. If that makes sense?
@@radhikachatterjee7275 thanks, I think accepting my own inadequacy is the hardest part.
@@Weird_dude265 lol, that's very true but not physically possible
I am scared of being confident because I dont want to grow a ego. So I hold back
The technoblade thumbnail just summoned a fandom.
This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you. I could never quite put my finger on why I felt so trapped.
Well Ego sometimes can control as if we have a lot of money, or became famous, or having a expensive gadget or item
You guys do the perfect work for a world of people falling to their egos (no, I am not immune)
I feel like Raimis Spider-man 3 captures Peters ego with this video theme.
I failed an exam that i was too confident about. But i remember that before taking the exam, i set a goal that i would do better than my friends, who, to me, are certified geniuses. After taking the exam, I was frustrated because of my bad performance. But what really hit me was the smile on my friends faces, who had definitely gotten a better score than me. That's where my ego came to "eat" me, and as such, i broke down. I became very aggressive and shouted out of anger.
My mind never had felt soo heavy, because i was mad for failing an exam i was confident about, amd jealous that my friends, whom i wanted to be better than, had already passed.I dont think iv ever broken down that bad before, but thats where i realised how big my ego was. I really dont know how to control it because this jealousy and feeling of unachivement really pushes me to act savagely. Iv also come to realise that i put really high standards for myself, thinking that i am capable of such standards just because other people are 😔
I always just thought i had a normal ego and just acted better than everyone for comedic effect, coping, and personality,
This video really enlightened me
I've always thought I had a big ego but now I'm relieved that other than the first one all other doesn't apply to me
I just realized that I am egotistical and I had the thought that I might be egotistical in the back of my mind because of my friends but it wasn't until I watched this video, and related to everything in it that I really saw my massive ego. I want to get rid of my nasty ego, do you guys have any suggestions? They would be very helpful and much appreciated, thanks to everyone who gives me any tips/ suggestions.
This really helped me, ive through out mu whole life had a bloated ego and always wanted to achieve somethijg unrealistic, i always envied others for their accomplishments and success, this video helped me so much, Thank you.
*having a big ego*
Shrek: **closes book** Hah, like that’s ever gonna happen.
Somebody once told me......
This was me back then it was hard to identify my ego especially the part of unrealistic expectation because I was just afraid to be rejected back then. Now I learned to do what's right and not to listen to the interests of others.
When you get first 4 of 6 signs:
*Phew. Ego's fine, men,.*

Is low self esteem a form of ego?
The animation is really amazing!!!
So once you recognize you have these traits, what’s the best way to go about improving yourself with them?
The trick is to accept that you _will_ make mistakes and are not perfect. That's just part of being human!
An inflated ego is triggered whenever we see, or are forced to see, something we did wrong. The inflated ego recoils, and tries to make excuses to avoid the negative feeling that our self-image is flawed in any way, leading to narcissistic behaviour.
But if you accept that mistakes are truly inevitable, _because you are only human,_ and integrate that acceptance into your self-image, then your ego won't recoil from the realisation that your self-image and reality don't match.
Then it becomes easier to say you're sorry to those you hurt, because you know that making mistakes is just part of being you, and it's now also easier to focus to improving yourself.
Think of yourself as a work-in-progress, and when the real world exposes yet another of your inevitable flaws, fix the damage (say you are sorry), but also feel grateful for yet another chance at self improvement. Now you know what you have to work on to be a better person tomorrow!
Of course you will never be perfect, but you now accept this, and you are always trying to travel in the direction of self-improvement.
Does that help?
In any case, please have a wonderful day! 😊 👍
@@pauligrossinoz Hi Paul, i just happened to come across your comment and it helped me a lot as i was finding that sorry seems to be the hardest word and I cant say it to my loved ones since my ego is huge. I've come to realise it's now the time to look back on myself and change for the better, thank you so much for your comment you really made my day. I wish you all the best 😊🤗
i read the title as Eggo at first and was soo confused. Damn Eggo's controlling everything again!
I'm gonna use the thumbnail as my profile picture 👑😎
Yes, I have an ego and it is negatively affecting me to enjoy the journey of making art a career and everything else good in my life.
I have one question: if seeing other people succeed makes u think u cannot do anything, also means you have a big ego (question related to the 5th point)
I feel the same damn way! When I see other succeed, I dont think that I deserved it instead. I just think that Im nothing compared to them and that they are better than me so I start feeling jealous.
That part about "not wanting to see other people succeed" is particularly telling.
I would love to hear the community's take on the difference between a person with an inflated ego and someone who is confident and opinionated. That is to say, a person who will state and defend their opinion with logic/research/etc. but will also admit when they are wrong vs. the type of person described in the video. Any ideas why they're perceived to be the same?
I’m sitting here thinking the same thing
Your voice is so much calm and soothing...
When u animate do u do the the sound first or the animation first?
It's usually the script first, then voice over, then animation. Hope this helps!

Ego is hurting my ability to make and keep friendships.
Ya'all just summoned the Dream smp fandom....again
Also, ✨Technoblade never dies!✨
Where is Technoblade?
@@graves_love.8 There is a clear reference of technoblade in the thumbnail of the video.
I've been self afflicting myself as I can't determine whether I have a bloated ego or not, but I believe I might now. I notice that I love seeing other people succeed and accomplish stuff, and I hate compliments. As a Kid i was declared Gifted and always did good in all my classes up to middle school. But I hated attention and never wanted to be a "Nerd." So in High School I purposely didn't try and acted dumb amongst peers, and slowly started creating a "i don't need school to succeed" mindset. But where I can't determine whether I have a bloated ego is when someone says i can't accomplish or achieve something, because that just triggers something in me to prove them wrong and it gives me more motivation to achieve a certain task.
For example, after acting dumb and constantly sleeping in math class, a friend started to put herself on top of a pedestal while slowly throwing jabs at me insinuating that I was lazy and dumb. So in my mind I would say "if only u knew," and thats when I started trying on my tests and constantly get A's. But I never showed her because I don't like making others feel bad, but it did bring me pride knowing I was smarter and still had it.
I'm just saying all this because I'm interested in what you guys think.
Maybe I do have bloated ego, but I don't lack empathy, because I only want peace with other people. And my high intelligence and lack of friends is the reason I have huge amounts of ego.
Anyone who says they have "high intelligence" is arrogant and egotistical af. I've talked to extremely smart people who practiced humility. Get over yourself.
Thank you so much
Video made me cry a bit because I related to a few of these points. Instantly put me in reflection mode
🙏🏾
Haha ego and pride especially when you love your own voice
Years ago I was a HARDCORE egotist as described in this video...however now that I am aware of my own egotistic tendencies I've learned to (sometimes) reign it in a bit.
However now that empty vacuum where the egotism once resided has been replaced with cynicism. Rather than feeling like I'm on top of the world...I instead feel like the world is a pile of trash and I'm trapped in it. I WANT others to succeed, but when I constantly see them failing I blame either society for not letting success be an option, or if they failed because of something I told them not to do I scorn them for not heeding my warning (often it's a mistake I once made and wanted to help others avoid...but apparently I'm surrounded by people just as stubborn as me.)
condolence
I did this things when I was little 😅 By the way thank you for making new videos every day!♡
I swear it was 6 ways Egoistic feelings gets you instead of narcissistic
I've been trying to control my ego a lot as I got older. If before I always wanted more, now I choose to want more only if its beneficial in the long run. I get jealous if people get success but not to the point of hate, but jealous that makes me want to work harder and believe that I can achieve something like them too. It's all about changing those thoughts into something better.
I’m so happy I found your channel
Hi! Thanks for joining along! :) Hope you will find them helpful to you! - Cindy
I relate to a few of the points here, and seeing people talk about low self-esteem in the comments, I relate to that somewhat too. Course, my mental state is one that is nigh unnavigable. I have no clue how I tick, or why, and no ways to find out.
I had a depression for 2 years and i have found out one of the main problems. I had 0.nada ego. It was sow low that i has gone into negativity that i thought others are more worth then me so i never complained about things that i thought were wrong. But since i have increased my ego , i stood up to my france teacher that was treating me very bad and was always making me look bad in the class. And after i confronted her infront of our whole class she did what she could do best and screamed at me. Long story short she had to apologize and i think that really increased my ego a little bit to much. But it worked with my school notes and that i dont let myself push around anymore it gave me more self confidence. This overself confidence made me reach thinks i couldnt reach be4 like writing a+ because it made me study every day after school so i would be the best. Before this i always wrote d and e. An official iq test 15 years ago sayed that i have an iq that is much far above average sayed and i think that extra ego made me use everything i had i guess and it worked. Ill even meet our president of germany in february because of a project ill have finished in january :).
Its kinda ironic but i think what depressed people need, is a big chunk of ego it is increasing self confidence. Not to much but still a big chunk. It makes you feel like you are worth A LOT more then u thought.
Just a reminder that «You are incredible, and your light is needed in the world» ✨
I have all these signs, I will try to slowly remove them from my life
As soon as people allow their ego to prove are better than others..the game is over.. no one can compete with anyone else. no two people are the same..as long as people point fingers at each other no one wins
I, as an INTP, always have to be right. I can change my mind tho, if I am proofen wrong. Beeing right and having confidence in my knowledge and opinion is just a big pillar of my personality.
Ok here is my first time realizing that im egotistical. I just destroyed the startup I founded because I didnt realize how bad I was treating my cofounders. Now thinking in retrospect, it's really bad. I always feel the need to be right, even in personal relationships. I always want more in terms of business. I had a great year this past year, and now I want more at the expense of my family suffering by me not spending time with them or showing them that I value them. I definitely lack empathy. I focus on myself and what I want to do.
I do have a high level of confidence and that is due in large part to my accomplishments and skills that I've acquired. But fml that is not an excuse to disrespect people, I have a lot of work to do.
I need to do a lot of deep work to learn about myself deepes and be fucking normal instead of a trashbag.
Today is the first day I start killing my ego.
I have a big ego but I’m not a narcissist. I always feel really bad about someone else’s failures and I typically don’t fault them for anything. But I did assume the same for myself…
Thank you Psych2Go for allowing us the opportunity to become more introspective.🙏
