World Ego Awareness Day is celebrated on May 11 every year and is set aside to remind everyone of the dangers of having an inflated ego. We all know someone who we claim has a big ego. World Ego Awareness Day is an important day as it helps people self-reflect on how big their ego truly is and at the same time evaluate their experiences with people around them to determine just how much of their perceived ego comes in conflict with another person’s ego. The day is important, not just for individuals, but for society as well because a society free of toxic egos would thrive better than one that is filled with toxic egos.
