Is ego dangerous?

Is ego an enemy?

Here is what I (strongly) believe to be true.

Ego is dangerous when it's not self-validated.

Ego is simply self-perception.

If you lie to yourself about who and how you are, you will inevitably face problems.

Fact of the matter being that you'll disappoint yourself because your actions won't match your thoughts.

A seemingly big ego, isn't strong if the actions of the person lean towards external validation.

simple example:

Someone buys a very expensive car.

If their ego is self-validated:

They'll test it out in the highway, peak speed and enjoy themselves.

If their ego isn't self-validated:

They'll test it out in a crowded area so people can look at them.

Both cases think they deserve a luxurious car.

Both cases want to have a certain status.

One does it to impress.
One does it to feel better.

Ego is dangerous if at any moment it needs an external POV.

People who need validation are unsure about their ego.

They want to see themselves in a certain way but do not acknowledge their insecurities.

Instead of working on themselves they get wrapped up in trying to please others.

And that's the danger, they start question why they're not validated and as a way to cope, their self-perception gets more and more delusional as their subconscious insecurities grow too.

That creates a big contrast between how the person feels and how they act.

Someone with a strong ego, matches thoughts and actions.

Someone with a strong ego, ignores what's external and enjoy life to the fullest.

Someone with a delusional ego will always expect things from others as if they were in debt to them.

It creates a fake identity and feelings of self-discomfort.

Your ego is strong when it doesn't need social validation.

Your ego is your best friend when you don't lie to each other.

-> When you don't lie to yourself.

It's okay to have insecurities and past traumatizing experiences, it doesn't make you worth any less of yourself.

It doesn't mean you don't deserve to be treated decently.

It doesn't mean you need to bow down to others.

But keep in mind it goes both ways.

You owe no one anything.

No one owes you anything.

You have the right to value yourself without external interference.

In fact you should value yourself without external interference or influence.

Your opinion of yourself will help you in life as long as you don't let others influence it.

And by that, I mean don't tie your worth to how others perceive you or want them to perceive you.

Instead work on becoming your ideal self bit by bit.

The effort you will make on acknowledging your insecurities will grow your self-perception as you will sense the progress and efforts you're making.

Once you do, no one will ever be able to take that away from you.

People with a strong ego do not suffer from the inside.

People with deep rooted insecurities will hide behind a fake ego that they do not believe in.

It's not because someone says that he's better than everyone that his ego is strong.

He wants you to believe he loves himself so you feel obliged to love them too.

They don't love themselves and try to force others to love them so they can feel that feeling.

Little do they know that love comes first from within.

If you don't radiate positivity, you won't get any of it back.

Radiate from the inside.

It's all you need.

Love everything about yourself and improve piece by piece, step by step.

It's the process of genuinely trying to be your best self that gets you closer to self-love and strong ego.

Now that I have explained a bit further, I can clarify:

Ego isn't dangerous.

Showing ego when you have none is dangerous.

Take care of yourself, don't take care of external opinions.

What most people call ego, is deeply insecure feelings that have been put away and never dealt with.

Those are simply cowardice and delusion.

Not ego.

No one needs to validate you.

You need to validate yourself.
