I’ve googled it so many times, but i still don’t understand. It said something about self esteem, but it’s confusing, so please explain in simple terms
In: Other
ego is literally just Latin for “I”.
It means your sense of self, your internally held identity, your basic core concept of who you are. It’s not something most people ever think about much, so it’s mostly just a set of core assumptions about yourself that you operate around, it’s the way you distinguish that which is “I” from everything/everyone else.
If someone has a “big ego” it means they have an inflated sense of self-importance.
It has some more layers of complexity in psychology or psychoanalysis, but that’s a bit technical.
