“Are You Unknowingly Inflating Your Ego? 8 Surprising Signs You Must Know!”
2) You think criticism feels like a personal attack
I used to struggle with criticism, big time: A minor critique would feel like a jab right in my self-esteem; a word of constructive criticism would send me into defense mode, explaining how I was right or how the other person didn’t understand.
Then one day, a close friend pointed out this habit of mine.
That got me thinking: Was I being too self-important? Was my ego so inflated that I couldn’t stomach the idea of being wrong?
It took some time to accept, but yes, it was true—seeing criticism as a personal attack was a sign of my self-importance.
