Ego entrapment

Ego entrapment is being trapped by your ego

It is one of the nine plagues

Your ego can often sabotage you because it is a defence mechanism which wants to avoid change, even positive change

As it is a new plague it does not have a well defined booster shot against it yet, although the booster shot is linked to larping and gnosis and a subtype of the booster shot of enstuckment.

ego death in particular seems to be the solution to it, although that’s the extreme form of ego weakening

Ego develops in high school due to people perceiving others as having sustained nuanced opinions of you

People are biased to prove their self image, even negative things

People want comfort, so when they get discomfort from changing they stop

Going and doing things in nature may be a better booster shot than ego death due to being more accessible and less overkill

A big example is people in abusive relationships whether they follow a script that they are comfortable with which leads to constantly getting into a new abusive relationship
