Ego?
A book that came highly recommended through the Real Social Dynamics forum was The Power Of Now, by Tolle. I started reading this book on the train and I'm about a third of the way through it.
Tolle mentions that the ego is separate from who we really are, this reminds me of TD's article about "The Self Coming Through" on (realsocialdynamics.blogspot.com). That the ego feeds off validation and being in state, pushing buttons for reactions out of people.
Long story short, Td's article and the Power of now helped me step outside my emotions and analyze myself and now I feel good pretty fine ab0ut it.
The book was blah some really new agey crap, but some of it does make sense and it clicks a bit. A lot of negative emotions and positive ones just come from your pride or ego being boosted or taken down but its dependant on what OTHER people think, that parts kinda fucked up, I dont want how I feel to be dictated by other people.
