1. Ego

• One's ego differs depending on the way one was brought up, the place where one grew up, the country, etc.
• Ego to a healthy degree can help in achieving goals and generally things we want to gain.
• However, ego makes us selfish, not thinking of others, and also makes us vulnerable to manipulation, as we will seek ways that satisfy our ego.

If someone:

1. Is 'absorbed' in who they are

2. They have a need to share their opinion but not listen to others

3. They are emotionally attached to their beliefs.

Then ego speaks.
