Re: How Big Is Your...... Ego?

It's a fine line between Ego and self confidence, sometimes confused.....

Re: How Big Is Your...... Ego?

Yes, I think we all have an ego. Egos can get bruised.

But some of us need it stroked much more often than others.

Re: How Big Is Your...... Ego?

Self confidence ...

Personally I think our ego is our inner self
It can be inflated, battered, remain intact mo matter what

Mine fluctuates from lowly to exceptional in less than 24 hours, depending on the outside influences!

Re: How Big Is Your...... Ego?

We need more Ego Warriors!

They'd soon sort out pass marks, in college, Corvid laws, and so on!

They could be paid to go round telling people what rules they're breaking!

I would say, l am very confident but that came more when l became a mother and has risen with age/maturity.

Re: How Big Is Your...... Ego?

Never stopped to think about it. I just decide what I want and go balls out* to get it and devil take the hindmost.

*Balls out is a term from the days of stationary steam engines where the speed governor was an arrangement of steel balls on springs hence balls out means going as fast as possible.

Re: How Big Is Your...... Ego?

I don’t know if I have an ego 🤔

What does it look like and where do I look for it? 🔎

I think Gertie pinched mine and buried it somewhere.
