How do you get rid of ego and resentment?

r/

I want to go ask for help and guidance but I feel so ashamed embarrassed and anxiety that I just can’t seem to do it. I sometimes feels like it’s the ego or resentment that is holding me back. I know that asking for help is the only way to get out of the rut and I feel deep down I’m not accepting the bitter reality so I end up finding ways to escape the feeling by constantly distractions. Using phone instead of applying for jobs, learning driving, going to college.

    You need to quiet the super-ego not the ego

    I’m not exactly sure as to everything that you are not doing, and substituting (said thing) with something else, such as buying yourself in your phone. That is a tell tale sign of stress and avoidance.
    To me, it sounds like too much stress, whether it is moving to campus, life adjustments, time management, lack of sleep, or general anxiety caused from any number of these things together.

    I would address them all, one by one on a paper list, or with a friend, counselor, or therapist, listing them item by item

    I don’t know why you are referring to ego in this instance. I don’t feel that ego applies here, unless I’m misunderstanding.

    I would like to help you further, but I feel like I’m needing more information.

    LSD actually – for most people I‘d say.

    r/LSD can help you there.

    Dissolving your own ego feels nice as hell too 😉

    I do a few things.

    1. Comes with time and maturity.

    2. When I’m tackling an issue, I argue with myself. For me, this argument is important to figure out my feelings. My knee jerk reactions are usually my worse decisions, but if I go through this “argument” with myself. I’m usually able to see things from the other person perspective and come to a better decision forward that works for both myself and them.
