Ego

(fanfic in Harry’s POV)

I have dealt with so many people in my life who has their ego so up high.

There is a difference between ego and self respect. It’s good and necessary to have self respect but not ego. Ego kills everything.

Whenever I have confronted someone for something brutal that they did to me, their ego comes into the picture and they gaslight and become defensive and behave as if I’m the bad guy here. No one really has the ability to put their ego aside and take accountability for their actions.

It’s very few people who do that and I respect them for it. People don’t really have the consciousness to text you and say sorry for hurting you and genuinely mean it and try to make things better. No one really cares enough, so I have learnt to care less about them too.

Then there is this ego that people have where they don’t call or text first. Even if they really want to talk they don’t text. So many other unnecessary silly things like this consume people.

Even if they miss their friends terribly who lost touch, they won’t talk because again ego. Ego kills all relationship, something that could have been great gets lost somewhere in space.

I do not have ego and I have understood that I get along with people who don’t have it either. Ego is a big red flag for me.
