It depends what the context is. In order to become more spiritually focused, the I/ego IS considered something that requires attention. Ancient spiritual teachings talk of minimising the ego since otherwise it can so easily eclipse our soul/spirit if too big i.e. self centred/selfish.
In terms of psychology, then I would regard low self esteem as being the root cause of many sources of problems springing from this e.g. self hatred/rejection, sabotage...it's a long list!
