I want to kill my ego. It's a wretched thing that's caused nothing but pain for me. The question is how I live the rest of my life without it, I need help to understand this ego/id shit and how I can basically stop caring about stupid shit.

You have to unpack your past understand why you do what you do only then after understanding it you can grown in to a snowflake butterfly.

Not OP here but afflicted with a problem to do with my ego.
Immediately upon hearing something, my opinion changes. Recently, someone I know who is a bit of boring guy, remember him being a bit of a drip at college, just starting getting into David Lynch's filmography. He's a favourite director of mine yet now I feel like all his work is tainted because somebody who I think of lowly enjoys it too. Yes, I know how pathetic that sounds.
Also, in terms of politics, when I'm alone I'm a centre left. However, I ping across the map depending on who I'm with. I'm social & economic conservative with young socialist types yet a bleeding heart marxist when surrounding by the older generation.
Another example is with somebody with multiple excellencies, with one usually being conventional attractiveness, which causes me panic and I immediately begin racking my brain for some flaws of theirs, usually totally speculative. It's usually something absolutely pathetic, like a cute girl being a big fan of a band I like who like and think are underground and not for "normies" or a ripped guy who also likes to read sci-fi books. My ego just can't handle it. When I do come up with a reassurance to myself it's usually something laughable pointless like "I..I bet they've never read a book by Dostoyevsky! or "Guess they've never watched a Tarkovsky film"
I've been aware of how petty and childish this is for years, and I'm fully aware that's just making me miserable and bitter. I just want to stop and relax when talking to people.

So that would be autism. Just a heads up. Real autism, not 4chan "autism". You're autistic. See a doctor.

You can only transform your ego or blow your mind out with psychosis. You can't just wish it away. We're all gonna die, so you might want to get started on that transformation process soon. You can also sit under a bodi tree for a million years only eating plant nectar, but that's just religion.

Can you go into why this is actual autism please, and can I do anything to tackle my ego

The issue isn't to kill your ego, but to keep it healthy. That means, not letting it control your thoughts and actions. It has to be another facet of your mind like your conscience, your heart, intuition, and your ability to use logic and reason. Most people who are untrained in any way, naturally allow their ego to become the dominant force in their mind. They reject or accept shit randomly at the whims of their blind ego, which is irrational and self-destructive.

Sounds like insecurities with yourself. Notice there's nothing wrong with the other people in these scenarios, it's allabout how they are perceived by you
You have nothing to prove to anyone anon. Any fact about another person has nothing to do with you, and does not make you better or worse than then.
DMT. Ego Death.
Kook up guides on how to take DMT and possibly even LSD and Shrooms.
Always check your substance and test it with kits.

Deep self reflection worked for me.
