Lower Ego Flexibility and Difficulty Interacting with People in Healthy Ways

Lower Ego Flexibility and Difficulty Interacting with People in Healthy Ways

Air Date Wednesday, 17 May 2023 at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM EST

This week on It’s Your Ego—Stupid!, Dr. Nick will be looking intensely into the mirror of our ability to interact with people in healthy ways. Another way of putting it is, “How good are we at getting along with people?” Not just friends and family, but people in general. Our success in connecting with people in the broader sense—acquaintances and strangers—has important implications for our social, emotional, and spiritual growth. It’s this growth that allows us to experience peace and love for all people, regardless of their background. Something, many people have trouble doing, which is having a harmful impact on the quality of their lives. Failure to cultivate this growth often sets the stage for mental health, marital, sexual, D&A, legal, and work adjustment difficulties. Unfortunately, for those experiencing lower or higher ego power, flexibility, and vulnerability, there are lots of ‘getting along with people’ issues, rooted in these ego energies, where they have become entrapped in thought, emotional, and behavior patterns, in which they are spending more time surviving in society rather than truly living.

Unfortunately, for those with lower ego flexibility, they often enter into social interactions with a rigid and inflexible mind set. When things get around to sharing ideas, beliefs, and opinions their rigidity “shines through” in the form of questioning or attacking others who express ones that are different from their own. Their lack of tolerance for different beliefs and propensity to view them as deficient, undermines the formation of healthy relationships with those from different backgrounds, due to the undertone of disrespect that often seeps through. They narrow the field of candidates with whom they can form relationships—not necessarily healthy ones—to those who think a lot like them. For them, this is the main criterion for forming relationships. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Authoritarian, the Ethnocentrist, and the Paranoid Person.

During the show I’ll be looking at symptoms, reflections of ego stupidity, and the impact on spiritual wellness which occurs when a person is being affected by lower ego flexibility energy in their ability to interact with people in healthy ways. I’ll also be looking at specific ego insights needed to transform lower ego flexibility into a healthier and more balanced place.

Please join me Wednesdays at 11:00 am (ET) when I will be sharing what you’ve taught me about what ego’s doing within your life, humanly and spiritually.
