What does egocentrism mean?
The tendency to see the world from one's own point of view and to interpret events in terms of one's own feelings, desires, and needs. Egocentrism is a normal part of child development, but it can also be a persistent trait in adults.
Example
"The child's egocentrism was evident in her insistence that she was the center of attention at all times."
