6 Signs Your Ego Is Controlling Your Life 

Parents: *You have to be confident!* Friends: *You have such a big ego* Me: _visible confusion_

"Ego is not your amigo." - Scrooge McDuck

Ego says, ‘Once everything falls into place, I’ll feel peace.’ Spirit says, ‘Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place

0:58 you always have to be right 1:38 you always want more 2:22 you only focus on yourself 3:10 you don’t like it when other people succeed 3:45 you set unrealistic goals 4:43 you lack empathy

Ego is false confidence, self-respect is true confidence. When the ego dies, the soul awakes.

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

This video really hit close to home. I struggle a lot with ego. The reason is because I use ego (or maybe ego uses me idk) to make myself feel better and to hide my insecurities. It's cowardly, and I know it. I really want to be able to love myself fully and stop hiding behind ego.

Psych2go: makes a video. Sadness and depression: why do I hear boss music?

Thanks to you, I learned that I'm not an egoist, I'm honest🙃😄

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

I have low self esteem and one of the couple reasons I struggle raising it because I’m afraid of being arrogant just like my sister and I don’t want to be like her. Arrogance is one of the top traits I wouldn’t want to be around

"I'm worse than everyone else" or "everyone else is better than me" but I never thought like "I'm better than everyone else"

How's your day going so far? Quick disclaimer: If you can relate to any of these signs, please do not take this feedback as an attack on your character.

Ah yes finally a good video to watch while suffering

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.

1. you always have to be right 0:57 2. you always want more 1:38 3. you only focus on yourself 2:21 4. you don't like it when other people succeed 3:10 5. you set unrealistic goals 3:45 6. you lack empathy 4:44 I hope I could help!

Just say big ego, small d, it’ll phase all the big bois

Never let you ego take over you. You are stronger than you think, and are bigger than all your problems combined. Have a good day

I realised that my ego is controlling my life... this is toxic. Thank you for letting us know😄

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

Famous quotes "Technoblade never die" "We win these" "If you wish to defeat me train for another 500 year"

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.

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

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 :/

Your voice is calming and soothing. Thank you for your tips

I am struggling with narcissistic traits. This video was helpful thank you

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.

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

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💕

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.

you always have to be right 0:57 you always want more 1:38 you only focus on yourself 2:1 you set unrealistic goals 3:45 you lack empathy 4:44

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

im scared how almost all of this hits hard

"When ego is lost, limit is lost. You become infinite, kind, beautiful" - Harbhajan Singh Yogi Great job, Psych2Go :)

This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you. I could never quite put my finger on why I felt so trapped.

Watching Pysch2go's videos fulfill my day.

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.

Thank you Psych2Go for allowing us the opportunity to become more introspective.🙏

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

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 🙏🏾

Wow!! Thank you for 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.

I did this things when I was little 😅 By the way thank you for making new videos every day!♡

Wow this helps me out tremendously thank you for sharing this video

Thank you for this. ✨

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.

You guys do the perfect work for a world of people falling to their egos (no, I am not immune)

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.

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!

The animation is really amazing!!!

Your voice is so much calm and soothing...

To everyone reading this: you are gorgeous and don’t let anyone bring you down💕🖤

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...

“fear of someone bering better than you” how does one stop this

I’m so happy I found your channel

Thank you for your content ❤

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 RU-vidr. ❤

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.

That part about "not wanting to see other people succeed" is particularly telling.

Thanks for the helpful tip

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.

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.

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.

Your videos always helpful❤️😇

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.

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.

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

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

Thank you for this creative video 💙

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.

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.

I am scared of being confident because I dont want to grow a ego. So I hold back

Just a reminder that «You are incredible, and your light is needed in the world» ✨

i read the title as Eggo at first and was soo confused. Damn Eggo's controlling everything again!

We missed you, Amanda! Psych2Go videos are not the same without your voice on them.

Y'all always be putting summaries in the comments and dont know how I much I appreciate them😭😭😭❤❤❤I love yall. I screenshot them all the time to have quick access to the info

This channel gives me life

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.

The technoblade thumbnail just summoned a fandom.

I do not feel like these descriptions. But thank you for explaining this.

I have all these signs, I will try to slowly remove them from my life

This video helped me ❤

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

Learned a lot from this

I relate to several of these signs, so please make a video on how to not be as egotistical. It would be very helpful.

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.

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.

Ego is hurting my ability to make and keep friendships.

great video

When you get first 4 of 6 signs: *Phew. Ego's fine, men,.*

Hi psy2go, i hope you will be reading this....i have been watching your videos since you had 1 M subs and that was one of the best decisions i ever took in youtube... Your videos help me a lot for making myself a better person, thankyou so much for your videos ♥️✨:))

Nice video! Subscribed yesterday ^_^

I'm addicted to this channel 🤯

Thank you for your kind informations. I really was strugling to identify these causes🤍

2/6 It's time to get rid of them 💪

Yo just wanted to comment that the thumbnail looks sick af

I feel like Raimis Spider-man 3 captures Peters ego with this video theme.

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.

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.

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 😔
