Yeah i realize NOW that the ego and self esteem go hand in hand,but up until now i thought self esteem was not only very important but necessary to achieve social success. And since that was the thing i lacked the most in my life,it isnt sitting too well with me that i have to abandon it just when i was ready to become socially adept! lol

You'll be the only one in that group experiencing ease and joy and not needing to ego-whore yourself to feel better about yourself. If you're truly in the moment, you won't be feeling lack about yourself anyway. There would be no need to constantly tell people how you are better than sliced bread.

I am not saying i go around telling people i'm better than sliced bread...i am just expressing myself,sharing common interests and ideas with people. I dont brag or think i'm better,i simply express myself and try to find other people with the same things in common with me.
