morning glory is busy learning a thing or two about life
I feel that I am making all conscious efforts to protect my self respect. I become alert to take any help, which can hurt my self respect,but in this course I realise that people are taking me as an egoist person..This is realy confusing..Where is that invisible line,when self respect converts in ego.

by Fromm. Good read. Highly recommended.
imho:
With time you will see that self respect and egoism are in fact 2 opposite things. THose who lack self respect are vunerable and need a ego to protect them. Who respect and love themselves feel secure. (My wiew is that egoist persons are hurted persons, deeply inside. Their “egoism” is just a protective shell. But it don’t serve its purpose. Their shell is hurting them.)
Fell free to take all the space you need, it’s yours, you deserve it! It is healthy to have an ego. It is your right. Having an healthy ego equals respecting self and it is not the same as being an egoist.
