Self Respect vs Ego

I have been trying hard to distinguish Self Respect from Ego. Here are some of the findings which I feel differentiates the two:

Assertiveness=Self Respect
Aggression=Ego

Competing against Yourself: Self Respect
Competing against Others: Ego

Listening and speaking: Self Respect
Speaking and Speaking: Ego

Taking the responsibility: Self Respect
Blaming: Ego

Saying- I’m sorry: Self Respect
‘Silence’ when you commit mistakes: Ego

Use of polite language: Self Respect
Abusing others: Ego

Giving the deserved credit: Self Respect
Taking everyone’s credit: Ego

Appreciation and constructive feedback: Self respect
Fault finding: Ego

Sharing required information: Self Respect
Holding information to prove self importance: Ego

Focus on Objective: Self Respect
Focus on Person: Ego

I wish you to look at these differentiators from wider perspective. And you very well know, which one to adopt.
