Egocentrism

Heard in 2 episodes across 2 shows since Jul 2026

Egocentrism is the cognitive tendency to view situations primarily from one's own perspective, resulting in difficulty understanding or considering the viewpoints of others. It is observed across all stages of life, from infancy and early childhood through adolescence and adulthood. While egocentric behaviors typically decline with age, overcoming this bias remains a lifelong developmental process.
