Do you take yourself too seriously?

[terrya]

Does your ego get a bit overinflated sometimes?

[HEyHEY]

1. On certain things yeah

When it comes to work I can be a little overly intense...so I've been told.


But dammit I deserve an overinflated ego sometimes.

[Tom_Foolery]

2. No, I'm in a business that is overpopulated with big egos...

so I've learned to keep mine under control.

[smbolisnch]

3. I take EVERYTHING too seriously!

That's actually kind of what my new year's resolution is.....to relax, enjoy my life and not take it too seriously! :P

[NightTrain]

4. If anything, I don't take myself seriously enough!

You might say I'm the "Anti-Peggy Hill." ;)

5. No, and I wish I could inflate my ego.

My ego should be a lot higher. I'm attractive, smart, and have a lot of skills such as nunchuck and cage fighting.

So I don't get what's up with that.

6. I sometimes take myself too seriously

I tend to be pretty intense in what I do. I need people around me who are able to defuse that and make me laugh and see the funny side. I have a good sense of humor but I get very involved in my work or politics and forget to laugh. My hubby is very good at lightening me up.

7. totally

[msgadget]

8. Not anymore.

There have been times in the past when I was guilty of it but I've since learned to listen and read carefully before assuming mine is the most legitimate viewpoint.

Edit to add: But, while I'll acknowledge mistakes, I'm really, really, really hard to sway from my beliefs. Don't think that's an ego thing though...

[JimmyJazz]

9. not a chance. I've never been accused of that....EVAH.

:hi:

[Deja Q]

10. It would take a fleet of steamrollers to crush my ego!

:D

[Nikia]

11. Yes and I have volatile self esteem because of it

It goes something like this, I believe that I better than most people at something or more(fill in the blank) than most people. I feel great about myself because of this. Then some event occurs which "proves" that this is incorrect. Then I believe that I am a horrible person and the worst, dumbest, ... I feel horrible about myself. Then something happens to "prove" that I am great again and I feel great until the next negative event. I have a couple of friends like this too.
One of my friends said that in AA they were taught tp say "I am no better or worse than anyone else." I need to really learn and believe this.

12. Seemingly overinflated egos are often cover for feeling inadequate.

I think this describes me sometimes.

[Tweed]

13. No, I post in the Lounge, not GD

A joke if you will. yeah, sometimes I do take myself too seriously, but I'm getting better and better and just going with the flow.

[Santa Cruz]

14. Sometimes.

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. Do I take myself too seriously? BWHAHAHAHA HELL NO!

:7

[VOX]

16. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

Ahem, yes, sometimes I do. Not in a bossy, pushy way, but rather in the way that I think my problems, woes, etc. are **the** end of the world. And they're not, not by a long shot.

I'm pretty quick to come back to earth, though.

[Bouncy Ball]

17. Oh God no

Sometimes I don't think I take myself seriously ENOUGH. I'm too goofy.

[miss_kitty]

18. no

but others do ;-)

:P
