Freud viewed the ego as the conscious self. This is the self that views the outside world, correlates it to inherent thought patterns, and forms a response. This is fundamentally how all stimuli, including those that deal with survival, are dealt with.

to get a ego, you need to have been up against the best, and to survive you have to beat the best, so ego goes hand in hand with survival, as we are all evolved from a lower species we have adapted to rule all, and brag about it, there for the ego comes along, a ego is actually a false feeling of being Superior, once we win we think we are it, until the next best thing comes to town and takes it away, and then ego turns into envy, then to despair and at the least despair, but in the world today you have to survive and to survive get you ego on baby, good luck to you in life.

Lisa, I don't blame you for not believing the medication hype fed to us by the psychiatric community. However, I must say that you still have a lot of anger that must be dealt with. Right now you are in denial. You are still blaming everyone else for your problems. Granted, the victimization you endured was not your fault. However, it is YOUR responsibility to rise above it. That must involve serious soul-searching and a willingness to heal, even though the road toward healing may be painful. Only you can do this, and you cannot expect the world to bend to your will because you were hurt. Many people have been hurt, and all of us have had to come to terms and face this pain. You can do it without meds, but it means you must also be willing to be brutally honest with the people who are there to help you, no matter how much it hurts. Good luck!

I think a little bit of our ego kicks in when faced with danger. That whole fight or flight thing.

The ego allows us to stand outside ourselves, and understand how our actions effect our environment. This leads to the ability to understand complex systems and how we can manipulate them. Rather than view everything, including ourselves, as one continuous whole, we separate the world into "me," and "not me," and "this," and "that."

It's more a result of our survival. We survive, we get big heads, so on, so forth.
