What it is and how to guard our conversations. Ego, in psychoanalytic theory, that portion of the human personality which is experienced as the “self” or “I” and is in contact with the external world through perception. It is said to be the part that remembers, evaluates, plans, and in other ways is responsive to and acts in the surrounding physical and social world. – At least is Sigmund Freud’s definition Egotism is defined as the drive to maintain and enhance favorable views of oneself and generally features an inflated opinion of one's personal features and importance distinguished by a person's amplified vision of oneself and self-importance. It often includes intellectual, physical, social, and other overestimations. The egotist has an overwhelming sense of the centrality of the "me" regarding their personal qualities.  First let’s talk Ego:·       Ego helps establish moral standards ·       Becomes a defense mechanism ·       Isn’t overwhelmed by its own drives but can direct them into useful channels ·       A lack of ego can lead to an inferiority complex , the individual becomes less capable of productive work. ·       Ego weakness underlies the inflated sense of self. Leading to EgotismEgotism:Egotism is closely related to an egocentric love for one's imagined self or narcissism  – indeed some would say "by egotism we may envisage a kind of socialized narcissism". Egotists have a strong tendency to talk about themselves in a self-promoting fashion, and they may well be arrogant and boastful with a Grandiose sense of their own importance. Their inability to recognize the accomplishments of others leaves them profoundly self-promoting; while sensitivity to criticism may lead, on the egotist's part, Narcissistic rage  at a sense of insult.          Top 5 ego based communication killers :1)        Interrupting when someone is in the middle of a thought. 2)       Interjecting Stories into other’s comments or discussions.3)       The 90 Second Rule. – Has the other person spoke in the last 90 seconds 4)       Disconnected Comments 5)       Disregarding others' opinions The UC Moment :Check yourself before you wreck yourselfYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOJqHEhS1CtX3A4nztIBzdAInstagram: The_Uncommon_Communicator TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@theuncommoncommunicator Facebook: The Uncommon CommunicatorLinkedIn :https://www.linkedin.com/company/80960291/ Website : theuncommoncommunicator.com
