May 11: World Ego Awareness Day
On May 11th, we observe World Ego Awareness Day (WEAD). We ask for your participation in this growing global movement to raise social awareness about Egotism. While we hope that people will educate themselves and others throughout the year, this dedicated day gives us the opportunity to collaborate and amplify each other’s understanding.
The Ego Awareness Movement and WEAD were established in 2018 to support all those that are affected by this mental condition and work towards preventing others from experiencing the effects of this invisible form of abuse.
Through education and advocacy we can help reduce the number of people throughout the world who fall victim to egotism; to increase their ability to be centered in the present-moment-awareness and experience life to the fullest. Ego Awareness Day aims to highlight the issues surrounding egotism; encouraging everyone to be mindful, raise our consciousness, and speak out against narcissistic or egotistic learned behavior.
Egotism is a learned behaviour, and it is a form of emotional and psychological form of abuse. When they are told that they are being abused, or being the victimizer, they may struggle to accept that idea because it is so nebulous and hard to quantify the behaviours.
