What is Ego? : CafeDread | Torhoo darknet markets
Ego is that false self-image, where you attach your value to your pride, status, reputation, or control.
It’s the need to be right, look superior, or never admit fault, even when you dead wrong.
IRL Examples
1. The Vendor Who Can’t Take Feedback
A vendor on CannaExpress gets a few 1-star reviews. Instead of leveling up and fixing his game,
he flips out. Starts dissing the customers, saying things like,
“They’re haters,” “They’re competitors,” “They don’t know quality.”
Or worse, he fakes reviews just to look clean.
That’s ego.
Why? He values being seen as perfect more than actually being better.
2. The Hacker Who Thinks He’s Untouchable
He flexes skills, runs his mouth online, leaves trails thinking he too slick to get caught.
Fast forward, arrested, doxxed, or burned out.
He forgot the game got receipts. Ego blinded him.
3. The Market Admin Who Can’t Handle Criticism
An admin builds a dope platform, but when users drop suggestions or report bugs,
he takes it personal. Starts banning folks, deleting posts, acting like a god.
Eventually, the market crumbles, not from outside attack, but from inside arrogance.
Ego killed the vibe, trust, and growth.
What Ego Does to You:
- Blocks growth
- Burns bridges
- Makes you fucked up inside
- Creates fake-ass confidence that cracks under pressure
How to Beat Ego:
- Stay humble even when you winning
- Admit when you wrong
- Take Ls as learning, not insults
- Let your work talk not your muthafuckin mouth
- Put people before damn pride
Ego is like smoke, it looks big, but it fades fast. Humility is like fire, it burns slow, but it builds real power.
PS: I don’t even know why I dropped this post here in https://torhoo.cc/go.php?u=TDJRdlEyRm1aVVJ5WldGaw==# at first, but I really believe this kind of positive learning deserves a place on the darkweb too. A lot of us ain’t on clearnet social media. Dread is the only real space for folks like us. So I figured, maybe a post like this could help at least one person out there.
If you vibin with this type of posts, I might start sharing more weekly, breaking down things like “Humility,” “Greed,” “Delusion,” and more. Or maybe we can even start a whole subdread like https://torhoo.cc/go.php?u=TDJRdlVHOXphWFJwZG1sMGVRPT0=# where anyone can drop some wisdom or positive energy.
What OP describes is ego-centrism. Sometimes critics are unfair, uncalled, or plain wrong. Dismissing those is the logical thing to do. BUT this implies exercising humility, to put ego aside long enough for correct understanding. Hence not being egocentric. Which unfortunately is an issue with lots of people.
I appreciate your input!
But from what you said, it sounds like you trusted the wrong people at first, got hurt, and then learned to love yourself more and stop relying on others. That’s not selfishness to me that’s self-love. Big difference.
Selfish and ego are two different beasts when you look deep. One protects, the other blinds.Correct me if I’m wrong tho!
We humans are built to make mistakes and move forward by correcting them.Trust is a choice, one we make ourselves. It can turn out good or bad, but with time, we start to see the reality of that choice. If it turns out bad, we take action to avoid making that same mistake again, like how you did!
Never expected this tone of self reflection and philosophy on Dread, but it's a welcomed change!
