Your ego might be running wild.
Ever notice yourself:
Fighting: always angry or defensive?
Running away: avoiding problems, escaping into your phone?
Freezing: stuck, unable to speak up or make decisions?
Fawning: people-pleasing, desperate for approval?
These are signs your ego is out of control.
Ego says:
“I’m alone. Everything depends on me.”
When you think like this, you disconnect from others—and yourself.
Here’s how to reconnect and calm your ego:
Pause. Notice when you’re fighting, avoiding, freezing, or people-pleasing.
Remind yourself: “I’m not alone. Life doesn’t depend only on me or another person.”
Trust a little more in something bigger—even when things feel scary. Shrink your ego, grow connection.
“Your trauma isn’t hurting you. Your ego is.”
