“Defensive individuals often have control and power issues, and perceive anyone confronting them or holding them accountable as a threat. They are uncomfortable with feelings in general and managing their own. Defensive individuals don’t like to “work through” emotional issues in the collaborative way adults are expected to. They can be highly impulsive and quick in their emotional reactions, without pausing to think things through in a balanced way. Finally, they tend to avoid too much emotional closeness with others.”

“Ego Traps • If you think it is more “spiritual” to ride a bike to work or use public transportation, but then find yourself judging anyone who drives a car, you’re in an ego trap. • If you think it is more “spiritual” to stop watching television because it rots your brain, but then find yourself judging those who still watch TV, you’re in an ego trap. • If you think it is more “spiritual” to avoid reading gossip, tabloid or news magazines, but then find yourself judging those who do read those things, you’re in an ego trap. • If you think it is more “spiritual” to listen to classical music or soothing nature sounds, but then find yourself judging those who listen to mainstream or pop music, you’re in an ego trap. • If you think it is more “spiritual” to do yoga, become a vegan, buy organic, buy healing crystals, practice reiki, meditate, wear hippie/thrift shop clothing, visit ashrams and read enlightened spiritual books, but then you judge anyone who doesn’t do those things, you’re in an ego trap. Always be aware of the feeling of superiority. Self-righteous superiority is your biggest clue that you are in an ego trap. The ego loves to sneak in the back door. It will take a noble idea, like starting up yoga, and then twist it to serve its own ends by making you feel superior to others; you will start to look down on those who are not following your righteous “spiritual” path. Superiority, judgment and condemnation. That is the ego trap.”

Bullying can cause feelings of rejection, exclusion, isolation, low self-esteem, and some individuals can develop depression and anxiety as a result. In some cases it can even develop into Acute Stress Disorder or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

อัตตา (บาลี: อตฺตา; สันสกฤต: आत्मन्) แปลว่า ตัวตน ร่างกาย รูปลักษณะ ตัวเอง หรือวิญญาณ ตามทฤษฎีของผู้นับถือลัทธิว่าชีวิตเกิดขึ้นด้วยวิญญาณหรืออาตมัน ซึ่งชาวอินเดียทางภาคเหนือได้ยึดถือเช่นนั้น ในคัมภีร์อุปนิษัทอธิบายไว้ว่า อัตตาเป็นตัวตนเล็ก ๆ รูปร่างเหมือนคน อาศัยอยู่ในหัวใจเวลาปกติ และหนีออกจากร่างกายไปในเวลานอนหลับ หรือในเวลาสงบแน่นิ่ง เมื่ออัตตานั้นกลับมาสู่ร่างเหมือนเดิม ชีวิตและการเคลื่อนไหวจึงเกิดขึ้นเป็นไปตามเดิม ในเวลาตายอัตตาก็จะหนีออกจากร่าง ไปใช้ชีวิตในอมตะของตนเองวนเวียนไปอย่างนี้โดยไม่มีสิ้นสุด (นัยพจนา. บาลี-อังกฤษ ของสมาคมบาลีปกรณ์)

Imagine living your whole life thinking about the past and the future, and then realising at the end that all you ever had was the present moment – but you were too stuck in your head to fully engage your senses and enjoy the world around you. Here’s how you can identify when your ego kicks in…”

“Blaming is usually considered part of the defense mechanism called projection, which involves denying one’s own anxiety-provoking or negative characteristics and seeing them instead in others.”

“Unmet emotional needs

Greed can stem from emotional trauma and unmet needs. In a bid to replace the emptiness of emotional distress, a person can attempt to use objects or possessions. What happens if this becomes an addiction or there isn’t enough money to fund this habit? A constant need to get money.”
