- When you are trying to control another human being.
- When you desire to be accepted by others.
- When you live your life from the ego, the false self, your imagination, your idea of who you think you are.
- When you are engulfed in thoughts instead of aware of thoughts.
- When you create drama and you’re not a professional actor or playwright.
- When you live your life on emotional auto-pilot.
- When you believe other peoples delusional thoughts, beliefs—faulty and false ideas and notions.
- When you believe your identity is formulated by the opinions of others.
- When you create your identity from your own ideas of who you think you are.
- When you get angry and become defensive over what other people say to and about you.
- When you judge others, hate others, are bitter.
- When you play shallow games of manipulation of and with others, getting a delusional high over the way you treat others, which comes from non-acceptance of self and insecurity.
- When you think that you are what you do—your job, education—who you know—your given “status” in society—what you own, your house, your car.
- When you believe everything that your government tells you as truth.
- When you hate another country and people, because you believe your countries propaganda.

I just read this post and it describes me 'perfectly' and was never aware of this. I was always aware of the undercurrent of unease within me,but never knew quite whst was goin on. I'm in therapy and still have a lot of work to do.
