In reply to General Question: What is the opposite of ego?, posted by jsimle on July 24, 2004, at 19:28:40
I think it totally depends on how you are using ego...in the classic sense (self) or in a more pejorative way (big headed). For the later, I think humble or selfless might work.
But in the classic sense, the opposite of self is other. Which is why when you don't have a strong ego, you can either be hurt easily by others or you tend to emulate them, which can eventually lead to conflict with your true self.
I don't know if indifference is an emotion. It seems to be the opposite of one! :)
