Unironically, shrooms obliterate ego for 4-6 hours and this is how you derive new perspective when you're tripping.

Alternatively yoga also is designed to do work in a similar way.

I killed my ego a long time ago and it made my life much worse. Don't do it until you can afford to be retired OP

Society loves cocky mongs, you're doing just fine

I just want to have the confidence to get laid, without coming across as an arrogant asshole at work.

Is there a middle ground?

How can you have an ego if you're a wage cuck for somebody else?

>>18413364
Tell them that you are sorry, give them some presents but >>18413538 also this.

>>18413364
only act on impulses from the id

>>18413579
Because of all of the things I value in a person and a professional, I'm really good at 99% of them. Society appears to value these traits as well, which is why it's given me more money than I know what to do with.

You're right, my problem is that I have an overly high perception of my own value, and I'm acting like a dick because of it.

Can you give me a tl;dr

>>18413608
go on...

>>18413364
You don't want to lower your ego. I've been in this position many times. Even if you try, it'll only come back twice as hard, and it's actually unhealthy and will lead you into making bad personal decisions at times.

What you need is impulse control, while actually increasing your ego. Instead of getting annoyed, start looking at people as animals. Why would you need to impress a monkey? It's the monkey who needs to impress you.

All "Ego Death" types are actually coping midwits who can't handle reality. Ego death is their cope, as it allows them to live without anxiety. To truly become a legend, one must surf anxiety like a giant wave forever.

>>18413559
you don't understand that the window where your ego is "just right" is fucking tiny and impossible to maintain. a person dependent on the people around him is either a high ego overbearing asshole like yourself, or subject to overbearing assholes like yourself. guess which option is preferable?

Ive been trying for a while. I had similar issues at an engineering biomedical company with my suporvisor. I basically told her wtf im just doing my job and gave her the Jesus pill and quit a couple weeks later. Now i just full time bitcoin

I've worked with your type before. It's like walking with a chip on your shoulder and you're never going to be able to formalize normal relationship in any aspect of your life. Divorce, friendless, the guy everyone hates at the office etc... I have no empathy for you

>>18413691
tell me more about these people you described

how's everything work out for them

can they be rescued

Like I said, everyone hated him at work. The woman he was dating was in HR at the company too, so I know what happened between them afterwards. One time they offered to drive me to work and he constantly berated her for having to take responsibility. When it was time to park, there was only one space left and he needed to do a parallel parking. He made excuses like "it's too small, I can't do it". His gf offered to help but said 'hopefully nothing goes wrong, please don't judge me.' The retard just couldn't help himself and even when after he was offered help for a pretty simple parking he said "if you hit the car you should take responsibility". She parked pretty much as best she could, but that shit imprinted in my mind. If he couldn't even form a normal romantic relationship without trying to exert his dominance no wonder he's trying to be a dickhead in his department. Luckily the startup tanked and he was forced to find another job with a much smaller compensation, more responsibility and less overseeing. The HR gf broke up with him soon after. I would say just b urself but see a doctor you psychopath

>>18413364
You are based. I would just create my own company if I was you. (Which I did). The biggest hurdle you're going to find is that funding is difficult to find and even if you do find it you cuck yourself to the investors.
If you have family or friends you could ask them to loan you money as well as take a personal loan yourself.

>>18413993
Ah yes make a company and hire employees who you will then micromanage, argue that they are overpaid, strongarm them into taking as few vacations as possible and that they should come to work even if sick. For every sociopath that can navigate this minefield there are dime a dozen that fail. Also brilliant idea to ask relatives or friends for money. Not only will his company workplace hate him but even his other connections when he inevitably fails

Go to therapy and describe your problem exactly. There's probably some cognitive behavioural therapy orr something that can rough out the edges of your narcissism and anger issues.

I think you're projecting quite a lot. You don't know me and you don't know OP. Seek help anon, I don't know who bullied you at work, but you can always jump companies to find a better place.

Your ego should be sky high but your assessment of reality should always be grounded. Ego is the most important thing in the world, without an ego what else would drive you to excel. If I didn't have an ego I would never put myself down and berate myself, realising that something is lacking to rise above the competition.

People without a strong ego never learn, they just instantaneously respond to external stimuli

>>18414289
Ego is genetic. You have no free will, and everything in life is predetermined.

Built for BDC (big determinist cock). Sorry, not sorry

>>18413623
You literally don't have an ego, you're an oversocialized cuckold that happens to be competent

>>18414321
I was under the impression that actually, worse than supposed determinism, everything is "random"

Just moderate your behavior depending on the situation. What are you an animal?

>>18414503
Yes.

>>18413559
>>18413623
bro its not your ego you're probably just a rude sperg, the fact that you say you have more money than you know what to do with and you can't get laid is case in point.

also maybe you're just ugly as fuck.

>>18414503
>Just moderate your behavior depending on the situation. What are you an animal?

Thanks anons, my ego might not be the root of the problem, it could be that I'm perceiving reality through the lens of my over-inflated self worth. As a result I'm getting pissed at the smallest things, and lashing out at people as a result.

I'm definitely going to use that tip about thinking of other people as animals. I wouldn't get pissed at a stupid dog for not fully comprehending the environment around it - so I shouldn't get mad at my retard coworkers either (unless they really fuck up).

>>18413364
electroshock therapy worked for me.
attach electrodes to your testicles. give everyone around you a remote that will shock your balls whenever they push the button.
problem solved.

>thinking "dont know what to do with my money" wealth is even close to "women come flocking" wealth

They are not the same thing, there are plenty of sad rich guys who blow money on fast cars to make up for the fact that they never achieved "thott flocking" wealth.

I have a lot of ego and it's pretty comfy.

I view normies as dumb helpless cattle.

High ego allows me to reach for new truths and philosophies that would have been impossible to understand before. EVOLUTION.
