EGOCENTRISM
Definition
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.[8]
Although egocentrism and narcissism appear similar, they are not the same.[citation ^needed] A person who is egocentric believes they are the center of attention but does not receive gratification by one's own admiration.
Both egotists and narcissists are people whose egos are greatly influenced by the approval of others, while for egocentrists this may or may not be true.
