True Take 011: The Reverse Side of Ego


Listen Later

When we think of ego, or being egotistical, we tend to think about someone who is self aggrandizing or is being self promoting, or self absorbed.  But what about the other side of ego problems?  Minimizing your own value and worth.  Playing the victim, being a martyr, and drawing empowerment from devaluing yourself or being overly negative about your situation.  Allowing your identity to be someone who "can't do it" or "isn't capable" or "can't be self dependent".  We are all equal in terms of being worthy of receiving and giving love.  And when we are on the downside of ego self we are in a position to withhold from the world and others.  That's just as harmful in the long run as someone who is outspoken and rude.  Maybe even more so.
