Ego is about control
When a person lives in their ego, they will live in a way that’s anything but spontaneous or genuinely in the moment. They calculate every moment. They manipulate situations to determine the outcome. There is a sense of safety in that for the ego, but it also robs one of much real connection. “Some people live in the ego because it feels safer and more controlled. Being strategic in interactions, avoidant, and dishonest postpones necessary communications, vulnerability, and outcomes that could result in unpredictable and emotionally hurtful results,” Holcomb says.
