ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Egocentrism

Egocentrism is when a person only sees things from their own point of view and doesn't think about how other people feel. For example, they might assume everyone else will be just as excited about their ideas as they are and not take into consideration the feelings of other people in the situation. It can be hard to recognize when you are being egocentric because you might not realize how your words and actions are affecting others.
