Also, you are free to judge and mean disrespect if necessary. The reality is that even if you say you didn’t mean it (because you are a good person), it happens even momentarily, and this is perfectly normal.This is simply how the mind normally operates. It’s doing its usual job, and this kind of pattern is part of its standard functioning. Detecting ego is a mental process, and you can’t apply strict guidelines to it because it’s highly subjective. One person might sense it just by reading a few forum posts, while another might need a detailed evaluation. That doesn’t make Person 1’s observation invalid - in many cases, no one can definitively say either way. These are all perceptions, and the mind needs some form of perception to maintain a coherent sense of reality. I’m sure you agree with that.So I’m still not sure why you see this as an “issue.” To me, this seems completely normal.Regarding points 1, 2, and 3 - yes, you’re absolutely right. What you described was very much me in the past, and to some extent still is (though not nearly to the same degree). I agree with everything you’ve said here. What you’re describing is simply how the mind normally operates, and even in your own explanation you acknowledge that this pattern is normal. That’s why your statement:  “the mind takes what our own mind has constructed through our own ego and assumes it accurately describes the other person, then goes a step further and projects that conclusion onto them as if it were a fact”  reads to me as a description of a perfectly normal mental function.So my question remains: why do you view this as a problem? Are you saying it’s an issue purely from a standards, ethics, or morality standpoint? If so, that’s highly subjective, and that’s not the angle I’m talking about. If you see any other kind of issue beyond that, I’d genuinely like to hear it.No issue at all රෝෂ් අයියෙ, I am doing the same and thank you for the reply. I am happy to take any advice, not for a moment think that I will get offended. Also, let's keep this away from dhamma (for now) <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
