What does this even mean? Can you further define ego and how it can be classified as "weak" or "strong"?

Core idea: Fragile, unstable sense of self.
Examples: Needs validation. Changes personality to fit the group. Identity shifts based on the people around them
Core idea: Balanced confidence, Very solid internal core, high independence.
Examples:
Can admit mistakes without shame. Holds boundaries kindly. Handles stress without panicking. Doesn’t need to prove anything.

Interesting. I don't think I would classify these behaviors has ego, but as social anxiety.

No I mean the "unstable self" part. Someone with an unstable self can be easily manipulated and hurt.

Ego is typically considered bad
Are you talking about self confidence?
