Ways To Reduce Ego

What is Ego? - Ego is the Latin word for I or me. The psychologist Sigmund Freud put the word ego into the popular vocabulary. It means a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance. If you say someone has a big ego then it means he is too full of himself, proud, conceited, etc.

Everyone has an ego and we are all born with this feature. It's important for our self-importance, self-esteem, and self-confidence. But excessive ego can ruin you if it starts taking control of your life or the way you treat others. Here are a few symptoms of Ego.

Symptoms of Ego

Egoistic persons need to be always right even if they are wrong. Winning an argument is more important than being right. Like stubborn political spokespersons who argue endlessly, they try to find ways to justify all actions even though they know that they are wrong. Have you ever gotten into an argument where you won't stop until you say the last words?

Egoistic persons get angry when their feelings are hurt or when things don't go their way. They get offended when someone corrects their mistakes.
