How can I tell if my ego is too big?

Question

and If I figure out how to tell if my ego is too big, how do I deflate it? What big, sharp, pointy stick can I use to stab my ego so it fizzles down and I can trash it? That way I'll be humble gentleman for a virtuous woman that I find attractive. But first, how do I deflate my own ego?

Answer 1

Stay focused on becoming a humble person, and you will. Soon your ego will deflate itself.

Answer 2

Let someone kick the c**p out of you, should do wonders to your ego.

Make sure it's a chick.

Answer 3

It's all about caring and acknowledging to yourself that  others are just as important as you are.  

You've stated your goal, work toward it.  

Siggy

Answer 4

But some people are innately driven towards having bigger egos. e.g. The innovative type (in that case there's really not much you can do)

Beware of narcissistic traits though, as it is a sign of psychological regression.  

I'd really suggest you work with the not overestimating yourself and realistically perceiving yourself pointy stick.

I personally prefer the broaden my horizons by deeper interaction and relating to others pointy stick.

When you start to realize just how big the world is you might come to psychologically embrace the knowledge that we are all small interdependent parts of a large network.
