Definition
Focused primarily on oneself; thinking of one's own interests and needs as the center of everything, often without concern for others.
Etymology
From 'ego' (Latin for 'I' or 'self') plus 'centric' (from Greek 'kentron' meaning center). The psychological term became common in the early 1900s.
Kelly Says
Developmental psychologist Jean Piaget used 'egocentrism' to describe how young children naturally see the world—they can't imagine others have different thoughts—so it's not insulting, just a normal stage humans outgrow!
