Everyone has an ego, no matter how large or tiny. The way we express our ego has a huge influence on our interactions with one another and with the outside world. It also has an impact on our capacity to persuade and be understood. We've all met someone with a "huge" ego. They may think they deserve all the attention in the world, but that can be difficult to deal with when you're around them. Here are some ways people express their ego: With Their Behavior: They may act entitled or appear to demand respect from others. They may also take things personally if you ignore them or say something negative about them. With Their Words: They may talk too much, interrupt others, or complain about other people. They may use words like "always," "everybody," and "never" to make themselves seem important. With Their Actions: They may do anything to get attention from others. This may include cheating on exams, tests, or assignments, harassing others, or breaking rules. It's important to understand that not everyone who exhibits any of these behaviors is expressing their ego. People need to eat, sleep, relax, have fun, be angry, etc. So if you see anyone acting differently from what you would expect, look further for clues as to why they might be feeling insecure or inadequate.
