Egocentrism

vs.

Narcissism

Egocentrism

Refers to the natural restriction of only seeing things from your perspective

Children

  • Part of psychologist Jean Piaget's theory of child development
  • egocentrism is developed in our childhood stage
  • For children, it is hard for them to take the perspective of another person

Adults

We do grow out of this stage of development, but some do find it difficult to overcome

  • Ex. taking a skill that you well-known and can easily do the task
  • take that skill and teach it to someone who is completely new by it
  • simple task or complex task, most find it difficult to teach some who has no experience with that task

Where you can see it:

  • When he or she is presenting and they feel awkward because everyone is staring at them, but forgets that almost everyone else will feel awkward and embarrassed when they present

others might see you as:

  • rude
  • inexperienced
  • only thinks for themselves

also on:

  • Facebook
  • e-mails
  • in-jokes
  • etc.
