The ego hates mirrors

Holcomb explains how letting our ego make all the calls can make a person very difficult to talk to because all the egotistical person wants is to avoid pain. “It [ego] can refer to our sense of self-worth or self-esteem. Overall, it is safe to say the ego is basically a bridge between our unconscious and conscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors,” she says. “Serving the ego above all else can make us bad communicators when it comes to conflict in relationships because the ego as we are using it here, is selfish. The ego craves what feels good most instantly and is quick to blame others rather than pause or self-reflect.”
