Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescent egocentrism refers to the tendency of teenagers to believe that they are the focus of everyone's attention and that others are as preoccupied with their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as they are. They often engage in intense introspection and self-examination, leading to a heightened self-consciousness. They also tend to overestimate the extent to which others are observing and evaluating them, sometimes leading to feelings of self-consciousness and insecurity. This phenomenon is a normal aspect of adolescent development and reflects their growing awareness of themselves as distinct individuals.
