There is too little difference between ego and self respect. People regard self respect as to be positive thing without pondering over the fact that, what they say positive, actually emanates from the Ego itself, which is regarded as negative. self respect to a limit is good fr it builds self confidence in an individual but if it goes beyond the limit there would be no difference between ego and self respect.

We are all born with ego. No one can deny that. Ego is the sense of self and nothing wrong with it as long as it's with in control, and some people develop a very large ego that interferes with a realistic sense of self pride and self importance, to the point that it becomes dysfunctional for the individual and interferes with interactions with others, due to the over emphasis on and esteeming of the self. That's when 'ego' become a negative character and often spit venom in your abilities and relationships.

In contrast, Self respect implies a realistic assessment of one's abilities, attributes, accomplishments, and challenges. Self respect is not only more moderate and temperate, but also lends itself to a confidence that serves the individual, rather than interferes with it. Self respect is not an exaggerated assessment of the self, but a moderate and objective view in relationship to the importance of oneself.

Ego and self respect are the psychological aspects that works as an act self-adulation but with different perspectives. Ego is a negative trait where a person gets snobbish and outrageously indiscipline while interacting with others. Self respect is considered to be having respect for one’s honor, status and dignity. Ego is indeed a negative attribute that is generally observed in rich and powerful people.
