I HAVE TO ADDRESS THE EGO IN THIS ONE, DON´T I? I know it’s about time, but if you read this, the thought of the ego might’ve paid you a visit already. If it didn’t, I would suggest you push those thoughts into existence.
Ego, Aliens, Listening, Speaking, Not Speaking -What’s This?
Your ego plays a part in your communication. It usually “protects” you, and by doing that, it really really doesn’t.
If someone can speak, you need to as well- ego*
If someone can speak, you need to make sure they are doing it “correctly”- Ego**
If someone can speak, you need to do it better if you are able to- EGO***
When you are presented with aliens -the topics you don’t have cool, fresh, interesting information about, your ego might get out of control. God forbid you have nothing to say! Aaaaaand that triggers your “protection”.
What are you protecting yourself from? Ridicule? Subordination? Another’s negative perception of who you are and who you are as a communicator? People you care about, and even yourself, believing youre not a thinker as much and as well as you “should” be? Go through all the questions again. Do go through all of them again.
Go through all the questions again. Do go through all of them again.
You Probably Don’t Get It Yet
And if you don’t, you might still need to. It’s really up to oneself to understand oneself, and there’s little direct influence that people can have on you about this. You probably need to start understanding who your ego-driven self is. Here’s another batch of questions, which I ask myself to help me “get it”:
1-Who are you in conversation?
2-Well this is not a question, but my 30 mins are up. And I’ve got 30 mins.
This is starting to become fun just now. Next time!
