Its a huge weight that I carry around with me.
Mine is so big that I can barely support it sometimes, I think for the most part though I live up to it.

In Freud's theory, the ego mediates between the id, the super-ego and the external world. Its task is thus to find a balance between primitive drives, morals and reality while satisfying the Id. Its main concern is with the individual's safety and allows some of the Id's desires to be expressed, but only when consequences of these actions are minimal. Ego defense mechanisms are often used by the ego when Id behavior conflicts with reality and either society's morals, norms, and taboos or the individual's expectations as a result of the internalization of these morals, norms, and taboos into the superego.
Although in his early writings Freud equated the ego with the sense of self, he later began to portray it more as a set of psychic functions such as reality-testing, defence, synthesis of information, intellectual functioning, and memory.
The word ego is taken directly from Latin where it is the nominative of the first person singular personal pronoun and is translated as "I myself" to express emphasis.

In Freud's theory, the Ego is a division of the psyche which mediates between the primitive desires and the norms of morality.

An ego is what you feel about yourself as far as how you see yourself...either you feel good or sexy or needed by someone. Or you feel unattractive or bad or like no one needs you.
To me everyone needs a high ego b/c it makes us feel like we are good at making others feel good...like when my b/f is satisfied with how I treat him & take care of him, it 'strokes' my ego b/c it feels good to know he likes the things I do. Where if he didn't like what I do for him I would feel sad or have low self-esteem b/c I couldn't make him happy or please him.
Really it's feeling good about yourself b/c someone lets you know that you make them feel good & they enjoy your attention.

ego is who you are, the inner person and the outer person, how you live your life ,what role are you playing to the community
whether you are bad or nice person that is how you are that is your ego

the ego in psychoanalytic terms is our contact with reality. if we don't have it, we'd be crazy, not being able to distinguish fantasy and ideals, from what is real and achievable.
depression passes. Hang in there.

Your ego is your sense of self.
The word has been misappropriated in the past.
