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

1. Weak Ego

Core idea: Fragile, unstable sense of self.

Examples: Needs validation. Changes personality to fit the group. Identity shifts based on the people around them

2. Healthy Ego

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.

Because they can be unpredictable. They cannot be trustworthy. They can be broken easily. People feel insecure around those people whom they cannot trust.

I mean it's like how some people are scared of nice guys.

Let's say uncomfortable
