I think I have no ego

I just watched a movie. All of the characters in the movie had strong sense of self. It is clear to me that I do not have an ego. So I don’t fit in in most social settings.
I have to know this about myself.

Is it a good idea to compare yourself to movie characters though?

At least you’re not arrogant. You do need a healthy self esteem though

do you have territoriality about yourself?

My sense of self has been in tatters for years, but I kinda like it.

Its a true concept. Even though we don’t think of ourself as dogs, we have it in us. Territory is divided not just by location though. There is occupation for example.

I often had no ego too, just like a physical body.

I don’t know if I have territoriality.

One could say society is run by egotists.

I wouldn’t know. I just know how the mental hospital is run :sunglasses:

Well, plenty of egotists there too.

So many people in such a small area doing so many tasks with so many reasons for being there. I am probably very low in the hierarchy, not sure what people get away with there.

My Alter Ego says I do not exist. I stop believing in him from time to time. Then I realized if I don’t exist neither does he. And it made sense, we do not exist. So I believe in him again and he insults me in public. I once read a prolific author and him only for ten years. I just couldn’t get into anyone else. After awhile I started to have thoughts that were in the books before I read them, specific and profound quotes, things not written anywhere else. I don’t know if I was in touch with him mentally but I can’t imagine what he got from me out of our relationship?

If you had no ego, you wouldn’t recognize that fact. Just saying. Eleven’s problem was she spent to much time in school and was taught to waffle. Ben Stein once said, “Bueller! Bueller! BUELLER!” Shake It Up Baby Now! Twist And Shout!

I have similar alt ego experience. One is schizoid/schizotypal. I can lapse from normal to schizoid and then stay that way. I dont have total control over it. Its happened so much i dont know which is real.

I got into this argument with a residential \ commercial painter once. It was about caulk. So all these guys pronounced it COCK! “Hand me that COCK Mr. Lister” “You should put a little more COCK on that Mr. Lister” " Where’s your COCK mr. lister" … As an anglophile half way decended from a long line of “Interior Decorators” … I had to correct them and tell them, “It’s pronounced as its spelled: Kulk” … Painter guys make great drummers though… all that time spent around empty cans …

If you don’t think you have an ego just look in the mirror.
