Side Note: Being ADHD it’s tough not getting excited when your mind is reminded about something & have to try & wait for them to end their conversation & fear of forgetting if waiting too long. Just don’t want people to misunderstand that & just talk it out instead of assuming they’re not caring for your feelings.
P. S. Going to a liberal theater school I’ve noticed often that many who need constant validation flock together to feed each others need but the second someone with actual confidence & foundation they’re not enthusiastic & will leave you in the quiet barley audible response(s. I’ve found other students who’ve also noticed this pattern but can’t point it out because we’re not really safe to express opinions unless it’s the opinions that have been made clear are acceptable.

The egocentric abyss can be misunderstood. In the past I would share if someone shares not to take the spotlight or anything but thats how I thought trust was built or some people can be making conversation and just trying to be similar and bond. Can see how it can be misunderstood.
Also people will get snarky and hateful if you share your achievements unprovoked even if its a promotion and say you have an ego so its odd how this segment works.

Please help me with one thing I don’t know English fluently but I’ll try once I was a extrovert but now I don’t want to talk to anyone and becoming silent thinking that they’ll laugh at me when I say my emotions not showing out when I’m hurted and hiding my pain with a smile but day by day it grew and made me to struggle with depression all hurting words said by others running inside my mind and making me introvert day by day

The only things i see i myself is stuck in a rigid ways and armor of defensiveness. I mostly take a criticism from an important people or the one i respect. Looking back i understand that it develoved because many people was laughing at my ideas and initiatives so in the end i started to keep them to myself and get defensive (tho sometimes i listen if the criticism is constructive and not destructive)

Haven’t seen this whole video yet, but I just wanted to say that I used to be a really big simp, and my friend helped me change that. Now I put this nonchalant toxic facade on and while women aren’t throwing themselves at me, I for sure have noticed that women seem more attracted to me. Having a toxic ego is bad, but personally, I like my new life more than when women friendzoned me 24/7

Only ticked the box for constantly needing attention and validation, and a few months ago someone pointed that out to me as well. I think it’s because I don’t trust myself to form an opinion of myself, and need other people to tell me what they think of me. Usually what I think of myself is wrong.
reply

I don't really relate to any of this. But I find myself pushing people away anytime I feel sleighted or when im not considered or treated the way I honestly feel I should be. That's gotta be an ego thing. Most of my friendships end because I feel insulted or disrespected in some way.

A toxic ego is the lack there of. The ego is necessary for assertion. An alter ego may be considered toxic and unnecessary but the ego is by you for you and it doesn’t require or consist of anyone else. Without it you’re insecure and weak. Stop with this false and lazy teaching.

I'll admit I do prefer doing work and tasks by myself in general instead of in a group but even I know better to remember that we all need a extra hand sometimes.
reply

How do you draw the line between self-centerd/egotistical behaviour and self-preservation/self-respect Without justifying or dismissing genuinely toxic behaviour.
reply

Sometimes people with toxic egos behave differently when they know people or are face to fave versus the phone. Or mass media. I d see that with my bosses.

I noticed r hat eith David letterman. On his show he was kind of offensive to women and Republicans. People he knew his personality flipped.

It's not about the looks
Proceeds to show someone with glasses and braces, just like me
Yeah. My ego didn't even have a chance.

reply

I am VERY unattractive in my case then, I'm so glad to see a video that feels realistic (I have made MANY mistakes, I'm 14 btw)
