You pretty much nailed it. Ego is all you, nothing but you. Even if you don't feel "good enough", it's ego. If someone doesn't immediately jump up and meet your every wish, it's ego. Quite often, however, some of our best talents reveal themselves through ego, like creative writing and artistry. There is a book called "Owning Your Own Shadow" that addresses this complicated and convoluted issue and it's a reasonably easy read for psychology (not a self-help book).

In Freud's theory, the ego mediates among the id, the super-ego and the external world. Its task is to find a balance between primitive drives, morals, and reality while satisfying the id and superego. 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 marginal. 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.
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. Ego is the English translation for Freud's German term "Ich."

Ego is like a boat tied to an anchor, which restricts its freedom to move in free water.
