How does Ego wreck individuals?

Ego is often seen as a negative aspect of the personality but it doesn't have to be seen that way. Ego can be positive. Ego is our sense of self-esteem or self-confidence. And loving yourself while being able to identify with who you are should not be a bad thing. I think it is determined that ego gets in the way when pride takes over. Pride can cause us to not take advantage of opportunities that are presented to us or keep us from loving someone that has hurt us, for example. Ego and/or pride cause us to wreck ourselves only if we lose who we are and our purpose in life.
