13 Signs Your Ego Is Speaking

7 min readNov 13, 2023

Do you feel like your ego is out of control? Let’s look at some things you can do to build a healthier relationship with it.

Awareness is key if you want to put your ego in check because you need to catch it when it shows itself. See if you catch yourself doing anything on the list, and follow the measures to put it in its place.

🐠 You’re overly focused on your self-image

How often do you see people glamming up and creating a false image to earn admiration? How many women get Botox or boob jobs to feel more sexy? What about the guys who wear expensive jewelry and designer clothes while parading themselves in sleek cars to earn attention?

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t put your best self out there, or desire to look good. But I challenge you, have you thought about why you go to such extremes to be admired? Feed the soul, not the ego.

🎣 You’re fishing for validation

All that attention and external validation feels good because it makes you feel important. People are acknowledging that you’re doing good, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But when you start seeking out that acknowledgment, that’s when it becomes a slippery slope.
