In my mind  Ego, is a false impression one has about themself. Self esteem is knowing ourself well enough to honestly know our good attributes, and our faults. I totally agree Pancho! Unfortunately many people do not realize this in themselves! |

I wish we had a newer, less drug fueled definition, then Freud's. Dude was a nutter, imho.  Agreed. But in his defense, his clinical work was limited by patients (idle upper crust) & not the regular Joe for his samples. Wonder why he didn't attempt to profile Hitler's mind (who ordered the burning of his books). maybe that would have compromised his standing in the then scientific world. |

Variety of opinions....seems that each individual( Not just here but in real life too) has his own definition of self esteem & ego.
Seldom anyone will get ever inclined to any other's view ( which is contradictory to his/her view) about ego & self esteem....!! Still,It's not strange...it's quite obvious....mainly because it's all about oneself for oneself. It's really difficult (and useless too) to convince anyone to change his/her views about what really self esteem is & where from he/she enters into egoism.....perhaps surrounding people gets habitual to what the person actually is & they too keep tolerating(until it really doesn't matter to them).... Life (time) is the one which does this useless and difficult work..... The only person who can do this task is GURU (The Master). Guru too can do it only if we are mentally prepared to ACCEPT that, I still don't know who am I and have the desire to know the real purpose of our life. |

Sheeesh. |

WHAT WE PROJECT...I am confident ergo I am going to be perceived as a confident human with a high self esteem. 2. HOW WE ARE PERCEIVED...that dude is acting overly confidant ergo he's a dick and has an ego {inflated self esteem issues} 3. WHAT WE HOPE TO PROJECT...if I walk into all situations with an air of confidence and assurance no one will know what low self esteem issues I really have But all of those responses are totally dependent on the HUMAN factor that no one can control! The great 'UNKNOWN' factor of any give issue...we just do not know what reactions we will generate out of situation...all of those people have their OWN self-esteem issues going on at the exact same time as well. |

Sheeesh. Accepting(??) / considering ourself worthless is low self esteem. Considering others worthless is an ego. Both considerations are insulting god as ultimately we all are his creation.The almighty has created everything & everyone for some purpose. No one is worthless. Accepting that I don't know who am I doesn't mean considering ourself worthless. It actually is discovering our self; It is knowing how wonderful creation of god am I ( are we)!! It is needed for unveiling our own real potential,it is for understanding the real purpose of our life.... Our life & our potential are god's gift to us....in the end we have to return both to the almighty after performing throughout the lifespan. |

That's true. Upbringing,race,civilization status,education,life experiences,age,inherent attitude & few more factors govern our views about these levels. It also changes with time....same persons today's views won't remain same after few years. |

In context, it appears you are using the word "ego" incorrectly. Everyone has an ego that is manifest in infinite variety. Think of "ego" as soup, as in the "soup" which fills everyone's head. Some is bland and some is spicy. Some is salty and some stinks of rancidity.
Ego is a quality that runs from self-centered to altruistic. If you have no ego you are simply unconscious. People who have a "big ego" tend to be the ones on the self centered end of the scale. |

prashant01 stated >>> Yeah, there is very thin line of distinction between ego & self esteem. These two terms are largely subjective to the culture & hence perception too....but don't you think that even saying I'm egoless, Selfless & expecting others to count that on you & further expecting them to follow for the same to you makes you egoistic?? Oh, I don't agree...this was the first thread that started the entire topic and it's pretty much what the definition explains >>> e-go [ee-goh, eg-oh] noun, plural egos. 1. the “I” or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought. 2. Psychoanalysis. the part of the psychic apparatus that experiences and reacts to the outside world and thus mediates between the primitive drives of the id and the demands of the social and physical environment. 3.egotism; conceit; self-importance: Her ego becomes more unbearable each day. 4. self-esteem or self-image; feelings: Your criticism wounded his ego. 5. (often initial capital letter) Philosophy. a.the enduring and conscious element that knows experience. b. Scholasticism. the complete person comprising both body and soul. 6. Ethnology. a person who serves as the central reference point in the study of organizational and kinship relationships. |
