Ego means Edging God Out
Confidence is often confused with ego. Confidence for me is defined as being sure of ones self and knowing who you are. Being able to enjoy your own company is confidence. For me spiritual balance is needed and knowing my value gives me the confidence I require to be the best I can be today. An over inflated “ego” will most likely cause you and the people in your life circle emotional harm.

The ego is how you feel and what you believe in. It is the ground upon which an everlasting battle between your Super Ego and ID is taking place.

.The Ego is that aspect of your personality which concerns your sense of self importance and rationalizes you wants and desires based upon the same. thus it effects all of your interactions from Love & Lust to Ambition & Values. However Buddhists say to become really Enlightened you must abandon the ego!

In psychology we learnt about Freud and he said the ego is the part of your mind that comprises between conscience and desire.
So say you have a girlfriend and you think about cheating on her. Your conscience says no and your desire says yes, it is up to the ego to ultimately choose what to do.

Theoretically, ego is self consciousness.It is actually that new thing which has evolved in us because of which we know who we are, that we are a part of the large world. But it us often used to describe the selfish attitude of a person...

Ego is the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for the interpretation of reality and the development of a sense of self. It's the part of the mind that gives a person their sense of self-esteem or self-importance. Its function is self-preservation.

Pretty much the same as pride, or prideful.
Could be a good thing, unless there is too much and you get the big head syndrome, then it is bad....for others around you/them :)

the “I” or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought.
