What is ego?  The meaning of ego is "I", but, in psychology, it refers to the physical action of when people recognize themselves and their personality.

How is the ego formed?  The psychological explanation is that the ego is commonly created from the mother, that is, it is created since we are in our mother's womb. So if your mother did not love you as she should and possibly abandoned you, it is most likely that your ego was created or designed from the lack of affection and care.

 Is ego always negative? It is not always negative, although it is clear that both are equally bad, if there is no balance.

How do I know if my ego is positive or negative? This question is fundamental to achieve a healthy mind and healthy emotions, for example, if you are a person who is always right or who thinks he is always right, you lack empathy, you are selfish, arrogant and arrogant, it means that you have a negative ego. 

On the contrary, if you always agree with others, even knowing that you are right and the other person is wrong, but you agree with them, if you go above yourself, your needs, just to please others, you have a positive ego, but it is bad. Since this example demonstrates submissive attitudes.

The ideal is to have a healthy ego, where our conscience is objective, we know our limitations and defects, we know how to take care of ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, having the ability to rejoice for the good of others and to always be empathetic with our fellow man.
