There is a huge difference between ego and confidence. People who suffer from a huge ego see their opinion as the only one that matters. They are driven by what they believe, and facts have little importance to them. Empathy, understanding and compassion require us to let go of the ego and live in another person’s world. This is not possible for the egotistical person. Here I present you certain characteristics you’ll likely identify with people who have bloated ego:
They’ve got an over-bloated sense of self-importance.
They’ve got a misguided sense of entitlement.
They think they are better, smarter, prettier, or more handsome than others.
They are overly concerned about what people say about them.
They are very particular about making an impression, even though if it were merely a façade.
They like dropping names, they feel good about letting people know (unsolicited) about the important people they’ve been with and the important places they’ve been to.
If the conversation doesn’t go their way, they are not happy.
They always want to win at all costs. Winning an argument, to them, is like winning a trophy, even if they’ve not made logical sense.
They always want you to know about the good they’ve done for somebody.
They crave rapaciously for compliments.
The number of likes they get for their Facebook posts gives them a feeling of affirmation.
The truth is that beneath their inflated ego, lies their insecurities. They’ve actually got very low self-esteem. Their overinflated ego only exposes their insecurities than they care to let on
