My favorite movie about ego is "Revolver." The moment the main character becomes completely aware of his ego is great.

When you're aware, but the emotion backing the egotisical negative thought is so strong it's hard to disbelieve

A healthy ego has proper functioning of reality testing, impulse control, emotion regulation, judgment, object relations, thinking, defenses, and synthesis. So, for example, a person who has problems with impulse control, anger management, road rage, sexual promiscuity, substance abuse, binge eating, has an ego that is not functioning well and lacks a coherent identity.

In order to deviate yourself from going egotistical, is to consider every factor that contributed and led to your achievements, victories, or successes are part of them. Know that you did it not because solely of you, but maybe because, you either had help, you took time to understand the difficulty and gave adequate effort, you had tools or techniques, or you were lucky enough to succeed, or maybe all or some of them.

So is the first step for a therapist working with a narcissist to make the narcissist aware of their own ego? How does one do this?

After completing a task for Ram, and saving sita Hanuman fell at his feet in joy and cried, overwhelmed with love, and said, "My lord! Save me from the tentacles of egoism".

That's interesting, our psychology professor told us that the most reliable way to tell if someone is narcissistic is to plainly ask them whether they are, and they would proudly admit it.

I guess this brings up the question, when is it building confidence and when is it just ego getting it's high?

Often we are told to accomplish something, achievements will make you more confident, does that just serve to build up your ego then?

[Dragonmoon]

I may be wrong, but I agree with the idea. Appreciate the journey and work you put in. Celebrate the success overall. But, don't dwell in it. That way, you can move on and accomplish more.

The ego is wonderful tool but a horrible master.

[raremih]

The problem is, if my ego doesn't take the credit for accomplishing something, then no one does. I think to do this some people (me🤡) need to my learn how to take credit for things you're doing either good it bad..

[degarri]

How do I go the opposite way where I don’t have an ego and I take all the blame and never give myself credit.

[KomodoSoup]

How can I deal with someone who has narcissistic disorder at work?
Can you make a video about it?

[dfvbadfvadfvad]

Instructions unclear, havent interacted with humanoids in years so have no awarness who i am, am i an idiot? Am i an asshole? Am i a coward? Am i sane? Am i a narcissist? Am i austistic? I genuinely have no clue how others see me nor i see myself

[shaneanigans]

People who are egotistical will never understand a thing this Doctor just said.

[H.A.Kingdom]

Can someone explain in simple terms what he meant? I understood the premise but not his point/solution/practical aplication.

[philswift]

I dont understand

Am I not supposed to be proud of something I worked hard on?

[xgelloxx]

Bro I think I just became enlightened wtf 😭😭

[klutterkicker]

Oh it's like automatic breathing.
