What does 'Ego Alien' mean?

Feelings in line with the ego
Feelings experienced as inconsistent with one's self-view
A strong identification with the ego
The absence of feelings towards oneself

The correct answer is: Feelings experienced as inconsistent with one's self-view

'Ego Alien' refers to feelings that are experienced as inconsistent with one's self-view. It does not mean having feelings in line with the ego (A) or a strong identification with the ego (C). Additionally, it does not mean the absence of feelings towards oneself (D). 'Ego Alien' specifically refers to feelings that conflict with one's sense of self, rather than being in line with or absent altogether.
