This document discusses the difference between self-respect and ego. It states that self-respect is having confidence and pride in one's own abilities and worth, while ego is an inflated feeling of superiority over others. True self is knowing oneself as equal to others, which develops self-respect and respect for others. Ego can make one disrespectful and lead to downfalls, while self-respect comes from virtues and remains even when external factors change. The key difference is that ego focuses on oneself and benefits, while self-respect develops from confidence in one's actions and conscience.
Difference between Selfrespect and ego
- 2. WHAT IS SELF RESPECT ??? Self-respect is a feeling of confidence and pride in your own ability and worth. Self respect is defined as holding yourself in esteem and believing that you are good and worthy of being treated well.
- 3. WHAT IS EGO ??? Your ego is your conscious mind, the part of your identity that you consider your "self." An inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others. Your consciousness of your own identity.
- 4. True self is to know yourself with having the feel everyone is equal and so am I and it is important for you to have the perfect knowledge of oneself for leading a successful life. SELF RESPECT When you know yourself you will develop the feeling of self-respect and you provide the same kind of respect to others.
- 5. You will be able to have a good balance in life when you know you true self. Pride and greed can stay away from you and this can make your personality much positive. Self-respect comes from within you. It comes from virtues like patience, honesty and kindness. When you lose wealth or position, you won’t lose your self-respect. Individuals with positive attitude understand the significance of self-respect and self-awareness and they perform their actions accordingly.
- 6. Ego makes a man come down in life. Being humble is the only way that can make a man reach the heights of glory. This can be acquired only with by leaving the feeling of ego. EGO Ego is the biggest enemy for a man to come up in life and this can make him feel that there is nobody above him and can make the individual ill-mannered and disrespectful towards others.
- 7. The ego is the opposite of self-respect. The problem with the ego is it can often ‘disguise’ itself as your self-respect and it is important to become aware of this behaviour when it arises. Ego is fuelled by materialistic achievements; for example, you feel extremely proud of yourself when you buy a new house or a new car or when you get promoted to a higher rank. You start thinking that you are superior from rest of the world. But what you don’t realize at such a moment is that these things are not permanent in nature. You can lose all your wealth, fame or position in a blink of an eye.
- 8. There is minor difference between the two. Ego makes us to think of our own needs and benefits. Whereas , a feeling of self-respect develops when we have confidence in what we do which comes when we do any act according to our conscience.
- 9. When ego shattered, we usually get into anger and try to shed our anger on others. We try our best to defend ourselves in every possible way. But when our self-respect gets hurt we usually feel helpless and start questing our self and even try to hurt also in some cases. If you allow your ego to overpower your self- respect, all your acquired knowledge will get converted into ignorance. Identify that thin line between self-respect and ego and try not to cross that line, if you want to live a peaceful, dutiful life.
- 10. Self is that part of you which is connected to a higher being, while ego is that sense of self-importance that you have when you compare yourself with others. Self is something typically associated with positive emotions, while ego is attributed to negative emotions. Self is assured and quiet, while ego is loud and self- important. Self-respect can be an extension of your ego or a priceless virtue.
