How Ego Protects Us From Rejection @PirateSoftware

so I'll give you an example my favorite

example from when I was in college and

was terrible at dating so allo likes a

girl I'm Olo by the way in this story

and Olo wants to ask out a girl and Olo

asks out a girl and girl says no Then I

feel ashamed but I'm not really aware of

my emotions but then what happens I

start making these statements to myself

and to other people to anyone who will

listen I'm not that into her you know ah

her loss the self bull yeah right the

self begins yep now this is not

like analytical and so then literally

what the ego does is it goes your budy

and it says hey bro we're feeling bad

give me a selective interpretation of

this give me something that feels

logical that can help us feel better so

we're going to selectively ignore all

the stuff that she's I'm in love with

her and she's amazing and and all this

kind of sh and then just give us all

give us all the bad things about her

because if we can put her down we can

feel better about ourselves and then we

don't have to feel ashamed of ourselves

this is how it works makes sense okay I

can see that
