Greetings fellow seekers!
I hope you are enjoying your experiences here on the forum today.
There are any number of people writing about the human ego and the trouble it causes.
You may not have heard the expression "spiritual ego". It was news to me when I first read about it.
Here's an article - rather long! - that deals with such matters and spells out the warning signs.
For a taste -
I had learned amazing things and studied with profound teachers, but instead of really using spirituality to move beyond my constructed ego, I was using spirituality to reinforce it.
It took a lot of reality checks for me to understand that the real spiritual journey isn’t about being better or on some higher level.
Ultimately, my spiritual ego blinded me to my own behavior and how my spiritual progress was making me act around others.

Wishing you all the best!
