ego doesn’t like truth
The relationship between ego and the truth is a negative one 😃
A negative one from the ego’s perspective because ego doesn’t like the truth, it is suppressing it (because ego is fragile and it has to impose control tactics to make itself more dominant.
whereas the truth doesn’t care, it’s just there.
Ego doesn’t like
There’s a reason why ego doesn’t like - because truth discolusres to the ego how it is wrong
truth so often feels like an enemy. It’s not because truth is cruel—it’s because the ego is fragile.
The ego part of us—the one that has built and attached itself to labels, roles, and polished identities—feels threatened by anything that might expose what lies underneath. So it resists. It creates a web of "what I am" and "what I am not" stories designed to bypass what it doesn’t want to face. This resistance isn’t random—it’s a survival mechanism. It’s the mind’s way of protecting us from discomfort, confrontation, and the risk of feeling not enough.
The irony, though, is that in doing so, we start living a life that isn’t fully ours.
We enter a masquerade—one where everyone wears their mask to hide what they’re deeply insecure about. It’s very subtle yet highly normalized but it’s exhausting as fuck. People just become these creatures who think that it is worser to be perceived by others in a way that it would not suit them rather than carrying the weight of the mask and the sorrow of not accepting yourself as you are.
C’mon we’re
being at peace with oneself and admitting your shortcomings that are actually a huge part of being a human. We are not polished dolls, we are everything between what we label as good and bad.
Truth is uncomfortable for our ego part of self
that have created various masks, “what I am’s” and “what I am not’s” in order to deny and surpass the truth itself
it’s a defense mechanismn that we have wired within us with the aim to not be confronted with what we don’t like and would rather NOT admit to ourselves
ego just tries to empower the self in places the self actually feels disempowered
and then we enter a life that is actually a mascarade - everyone with their masks on to hide their insecurities
from evolutionary point of view hiding your insecurities makes sense
but aren’t we tired of living to survive oppose to living for the sake of living and welcoming and accepting the self as it is, the reality as it - yes it’s hurtful in the meanwhile but it’s liberating in the long term
ahhhh, just image the agony of putting a mask every time you go out of your house.
I don’t care how evolved species we are thinking that we are
but it’s verey often the case
but we act as cave time humans whenever we start getting into more close and intimate relationships - we don’t want the other to see our vulnerabilities due to potential threat to our exikstance it may imposer on us
I know that I’m reffering to people that tend to be
I know that I'm referring to the the ones who are insecure in themselves and thus in the relationships that they are forming
But isn't it crazy to understand that despite all of the technological improvement that we have gained as a race we still in certain Dynamics behave as the cave time ancestors of us
it all comes down how much we are actually not secure wqithin ourselves
and then we live life out of moto “I need to survive” rather than “I can just be and live my life”.
First and foremost because truth sometimes might be highly discomfortable
painful
something that we don’t like
thus it’s easier to immerse oneself into illusions
truth is destroying the
—-
you have to let your guards down to understand that
because truth very often contradicts with the ego mind
and even painful,
it’s basically a reality that we do not want to accept
The truth, by its very nature, can be confronting
and
confrontation is what the ego mind doesn’t like as it threatens its’ carefully constructed reality that it clings to.
When a person operates from lower states of consciousness, they are deeply rooted in the mind and heavily influenced by the ego construct.
This makes embracing the truth feel particularly intimidating
let's explore the deeper 'why's':
Fear of Change
The truth has a way of challenging the familiar.
It can demand that we rethink our beliefs, relationships, or choices—things that may have defined us for years.
Change, even when it leads to growth, often feels unsettling.
Emotional Discomfort
Sometimes, truth shines a light on parts of ourselves or our past that we’d rather avoid. It can stir up feelings like guilt, shame, or regret—emotions that are hard to face and be in.
Fear of Loss
Accepting the truth can mean letting go—of relationships, identities, or illusions that once gave us a sense of security and contentment. The fear of what we might lose often outweighs our trust in what we might gain.
Inner Conflict
Truth can create a clash between what we’ve always believed and what we now know to be real.
This internal struggle, known as cognitive dissonance, can make us question who we are and what we stand for.
Perceived Threat
Sometimes, the truth feels like an enemy. It can threaten the stability we’ve worked hard to maintain or expose vulnerabilities we have tried to hide.
Societal Expectations
Certain truths that we embody can challenge societal norms or invite judgment from others and that’s intimidating and even scary as the ego [ Homo sapiens ]mind perceives a serious risk here - a risk of "not belonging" to the tribe if acting differently that the tribe itself.
The fear of being alone triggers our primal instincts, as survival once depended on belonging to the tribe.
We like it or not these primal instincts by default are leading the show
unless we start to transcend them and work our ways to higher states of consciousness [being].
Fear of the Unknown
The truth often leads to change, and change brings uncertainty.
Facing the unknown requires trust in ourselves and this trust is not neccesarity something that we all have because the majority of us were taught to not trust the self and the signals that it is sending to us. In this case some work with one’s energy has to be done for that trust to be reestablished.
It's important to understand that the ego-driven life is a natural stage in human evolution.
From a higher perspective,
the ego serves as a tool for growth ➡️
it is weighting down our being through fears, attachments and struggles until we reach a point where we can’t help but look deeper inside of us to address, explore and finally resolve this uncomfortable stuff
it challenges us to reflect and evolve beyond it
it alway does
sooner or later :)
and it all depends how you welcome it - with continuing resistrance or with acceptance
