EgoCentrism

Egocentrism is a characteristic of a child in its preoperational stage (age 2-7) of having the tendancy or being likely to believe that others look at things the same way as oneself, neglecting others' perspectives. This stage prevails even as we grow. For example, some people think that they are good and wonders why they aren't appreciated but forget that what is good to one might not be to another. We have to keep in mind that different people have different perspectives and not getting acceptance by one or some, doesn't mean we aren't good =).
