1. Egocentrism

   Egocentrism is the inability to differentiate between self and other. More specifically, it is the inability to accurately assume or understand any perspective other than one's own. Egocentrism is found across the life span: in infancy, early childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Although egocentric behaviors are less prominent in adulthood, the existence of some forms of egocentrism in adulthood indicates that overcoming egocentrism may be a lifelong development that never achieves completion. Adults appear to be less egocentric than children because they are faster to correct from an initially egocentric perspective than children, not because they are less likely to initially adopt an egocentric perspective.

1. egocentrism

   Egocentrism is a psychological concept that refers to the tendency of individuals to perceive the world from their own perspective only and to have difficulty recognizing or understanding other people's viewpoints or emotions. This can lead to a lack of empathy and an inability to see things from a perspective different from their own. Egocentrism does not imply selfishness or self-centeredness but rather a limited capacity for understanding the thoughts and feelings of others.

1. Egocentrism

   Egocentrism is characterized by preoccupation with one's own internal world. Egocentrics regard themselves and their own opinions or interests as being the most important or valid. Self-relevant information is seen to be more important in shaping one’s judgments than do thoughts about others and other-relevant information. Egocentric people are unable to fully understand or to cope with other people's opinions and the fact that reality can be different from what they are ready to accept.
