The Ego, the Defense Mechanism is always in a fight or flight state. Easily offended. Defensive. On the attack. Finding faults. Constantly judging. Always thinking. Calculating. Unable to rest. Thinking of multiple scenarios, trying to avoid the outcomes it’s trying to avoid.
Causing low-key anxiety, stress. Frayed. Unnerved. Impatient. Unable to focus. Have clarity. Feel like I can’t bring my whole self to what I’m doing. Losing presence. Elusive insight. Distracted. Not in the moment.
