Hmm.. i've noticed something with the ego in myself, but also am becoming aware of it in a mate that I do security and train martial arts with.
We get into more altercations than the other guys because we don't back down to people. If somebody has a go, instead of swallowing the ego and talking them down, we are both similar in the way that we are like 'ok mate.. lets go then"
And I was talking about it with him after noticing it. He said something interesting. "The reason I am like this because I used to back down from them when they were having a go and I really felt bad and it played on my mind for ages, and now it doesn't anymore because I stand up to them and do something about it".
It's some kind of insecurity because i've felt that feeling many times too. But I feel something in Alpha 2011 has brought this on a bit more, just not taking their crap and doing something about it if they get in my face.
I am hoping that this smooths out in later stages.
