World Ego Awareness Day

May 11, Sunday

World Ego Awareness Day is an annual international day observed on May 11. It is dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of the ego on human behavior and interpersonal relationships. The purpose of the day is to encourage self-reflection, the development of empathy, and the recognition of the negative consequences of egocentrism in personal and social life.

History of the day
The day was established in 2018 by Dr. Jyotika Chhibber and the Ego Awareness Movement. The idea was to help people become aware of how the ego affects their perception of the world and their interactions with others. Since then, the day has served as an occasion to discuss the importance of humility, self-knowledge, and the development of healthy relationships.

Why observe this day?
The goal of World Ego Awareness Day is to remind people that an inflated ego can lead to:
- conflicts in relationships,
- lack of empathy,
- stress and anxiety,
- bias and discrimination,
- manipulation and aggression.

Recognizing and managing the ego helps improve mental health, strengthen social bonds, and create a more harmonious society.
