It can mean different things in different contexts.
For laypeople it’s your sense of pride or self-worth. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but someone who is overly proud and a jerk can be said to be an egotist with a negative connotation.
In a more psychological sense the term ‘ego’ refers to the more ‘conscious’ part of your mind. The thinking, speaking, feeling, communicating part, the ‘you’ part of you. It’s contrasted against the Id which is the unconscious “deep soul” part of your identity that might tie into your morals or belief system.
