@keith.crossley1: The ego doesn’t just show up as arrogance, it hides behind defensiveness, control, and the fear of being exposed. The more you feel the need to protect yourself, the more fragile your sense of self may actually be. Real strength isn’t about proving anything, it’s about not needing to. Where in your life are you ready to drop the armor? #egowork #selfawareness #innerfreedom #keithcrossley
This is a bit wonky. Protecting yourself is very important.

Guys, he’s not talking about those of you that are introverted or protect yourself bc of a trauma. He’s talking about that person who always long for the spotlight and feed of external validation

I agree with not having the need to defend, explain, control. But protect, absolutely, we aren't surrounded by angels here.

yeah this isn't true...a clear sign of ego, is the degree to which you believe in yourself, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, when an overinflated ego is in play , it manifests in false faith.

Some protect themselves for other very justified reasons that have nothing to do with an inflated ego

There’s a fine line between boundaries/self-protection vs over inflated ego.

This has to do with interpersonal relationships, vulnerability and intimacy. You don’t connect when you are just performing & you are not free because you are not your authentic self. Facades crumble

When he says the need to protect/ defend here he means your need to control how people see you not security etc protection.

I think he meant that taking extreme measures to protect yourself is a sing of big ego, by extreme measures let’s say controling EVERYBODY so no one can upset your fragile ego? 😅

When you can stop controlling the narrative, that's when you are accepting your true self, and that's your freedom

I respect myself so I don't get disrespected. this means I protect myself, so I don't get humiliated.. so it means I'm weak?

Your ego is what loves you. It protects you. There is a line. If you get paranoid about natural trust- like a bank teller giving you money and asking for your acct Info and you freak out.

What he means is the ego is a collections of emotions attached to moments or ideas these moments and ideas create the ego at a very young age all you must do is let go of what you think you are to become ultimately what your meant to be
