Your ego is just something that disconnects you from true reality...imo.

Why would someone want to go around thinking they aren't the shit? Not saying people should think they are better than everyone else... Imo everyone should have high self esteem. You can only be yourself, so why not take pride in who you are..?

Ego and self esteem are 2 different things

An egotistical person's sense of self-worth is mostly determined by external conditions, circumstances or events. They promote themselves so that they can be convinced of their own value by the feedback they receive from others

A self-esteemed person's sense of self-worth is mostly determined by internal conditions like attitude, compassion, belief, passion and personal vision

Do I have a big ego? I don't know, I don't tend to put myself on a pedestal, and I know I'm not perfect. :)
Computer games don't affect kids. I mean, if Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we would all be running around darkened rooms, munching magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music.

ok. so this is what im thinkin about

the ego is part of our psyche.
people that we call egotistical have a inflated sense of self.
but really an ego is just like your set of beliefs about yourself.makes up part of your paradigm

I know what you mean, all i heard about lsd/shrooms is that they are life altering substances, which is totally untrue in my case, though I have only dropped acid so far.
