"Egotistical" from too much ego or compensating for too weak of an ego?

What I have become aware of is that when I am acting arrogant, ''egotistical'', deep down, I am feeling less than...I am trying to compensate for low self worth. I am reaching out for love in a twisted way that actually does just the opposite. I am sorry, please forgive me, thank you. I love you.

Diane McEneaney Yum Graves Oh Ron, I truly mean it. I truly believe men have a hard lot in life when it comes to expressing emotions..I dont know if its the gene pool, the way men are taught to express themselves, meaning in this world it's seems they have to hold back their emo...See More

Ron Alexander Robin Korth: It is only now, at the age of 58, that I am willingly traveling the avenues of my past--all of it--to discover, feel and heal the parts of me that I left on the floor, or never claimed in the first place.
The gifts of this work are courage..

Ra Divakar So, you need a stronger more balanced ego to deal with your "lack of self-worth" Ron?

 

Peace Is notice that too Ron....it is always because something is triggered that brings up fear of some kind or other. the good news is when we observe it the control loosens up. ty :-)

 

Ron Alexander thanks Ra and Peace Is - yes, a healthy balanced ego observing fear with equanimity helps me be free of '"self worth" issues!
