How much seriously do you take it in relationships? and where does it stand in your life? Sara519 started a thread a couple of days back here asking if you initiate a contact always so this is kinda relevant here. Why do you stay away and keep waiting for the other one to initiate? And, if they are doing the same, is it alright to let go of a relationship just like that. So how do we differentiate unnecessary ego, self honour and simply not to be taken for granted in life.

Re: This EGO business
I think there is difference in ego or initiating contact with someone. Because i don't initiate contacts with others not because i have some ego type attitude but because i am reserved kind of person. I am shy type of person who feels uncomfortable in contacting strangers.
Re: This EGO business
I don't remember if I said this in the other thread or not, but the way I see it....if I'm getting good reception (like the person always responds and is friendly and all) I don't see why initiating is a bad thing.
If there was no problem, no complaint nothing, then why should I not speak to someone for such a silly reason as pride or ego? its kind of morbid but if he/she or I were to die the next day wouldnt it be so silly to know we ignored each other for no reason at all?

Re: This EGO business
Well, if there is an established relationship, there should be no ego. But at the begining of a new relationship or getting to know stage, there has to be some respect but still ego should not hinder in the process because afterall, each person is proceeding with his/ her consent and no one is forcing him/ her to interact if he/ she does not want to.
But yeah, situations in early stages of relationships can be exhausting and we sometimes tend to be egoistic which can be devastating to the new relationship. If a person thinks there is some lack of interest from the other side which makes him not to initiate contact, the other person can feel rejected and there comes ego which stops him/ her to initiate the contact. So ego can make things confusing in a new relationship whereas it does not (should not) have much importance in any well established relationship.
Love this dialougue from He's Just Not that into You:
“I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my Blackberry, so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. It’s exhausting!”- Drew Barrymore, He’s Just Not That Into You.

Im not talking about initiating contact with strangers. Its about relationships friends, in different situations.

OK then sorry for misinterpreting your msg
ok for me my EGO and self respect is more important then other things. But i let go of my EGO and self respect to some extend when it comes to my close friends and my loved ones.
Your EGO should not be important in case of your loved ones.
I think it all depends on the relationships how much you are closed to that person. If you really love someone you should keep your EGO aside.
Re: This EGO business
^ and so you will :k:
Re: This EGO business
Dont let your ego die ** every time**.
Sacrifice and bend, whenever it is important to save a relationship that means a lot to you.
