Ego comes when we expect some recognition
Ego is body consciousness based; Self Esteem is from the inner self. Both are different. I have a lot of self esteem because I know I am a good person. Just because someone scolds me I get affected, then that is ego.
Ego comes when we expect some recognition. Who are the other people to recognize our worth? Why should we bother? What is their qualification to recognize us?
