Ego vs. Self-Respect

Ego is a negative feeling.

It is a feeling that evolves when you deliberately compare yourself with others.

You compare yourself with people smaller or weaker than you in terms of money, power, authority, appearance, or anything.

The reason why you compare is to feel superior, bigger, and powerful than others.

While Self-respect is a positive feeling.

It is a feeling of taking pride in what you are and who you are. It is a sense of higher being derived when you positively accept yourself regardless of money, power, position, or appearance.

It is only connected to oneself, regardless of people and things.
