Lower Ego Vulnerability and Difficulty Interacting with People in Healthy Ways

Lower Ego Vulnerability and Difficulty Interacting with People in Healthy Ways

Aired Wednesday, 07 June 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 vulnerability, their lack of emotion leads to the formation of relationships that are superficial and lacking in emotional depth. They can take or leave them, and if the relationship ends, so what! Their emotional detachment undermines investment in and building relationships of any kind, including those beyond the home and familial setting. They are inclined to “use” relationships for what they can get out of them. This includes their being a potential source of “emotional entertainment” in which they can enjoy the drama and stimulation that comes from being in relationships, including those which are relationships in name only. A relationship can often be like a tool for amusement to them. Once the amusement stops, the relationship stops. They can also come across as insensitive to others, because their lack of empathy and compassion prevents them from realizing the impact they’re having on others. They aren’t particularly interested in the needs of others, particularly the emotional ones, which undermines the formation of healthy relationships. Roles they may find their way into living, until they awaken to their ego energy, include the Hedonist, the Logician, and the Inattentive 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 vulnerability 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 vulnerability 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.
